[8] See _Landa_, _Rel. de Yuc._, 6. ‘_Domum_ Cotoche sonat: indicabant enim domus et oppidum haud longè abesse.’ _De Rebus Gestis Ferdinandi Cortesii_, in _Icazbalceta_, _Col. Doc._, i. 339. ‘Conez cotoche, q̄ quiere dezir, Andad aca a mis casas.’ _Herrera_, dec. ii. lib. ii. cap. xvii. ‘Cotohe, cotohe,’ that is to say, ‘a house.’ _Fancourt’s Hist. Yuc._, 6. ‘Cotoche, q̄ quiere dezir casa.’ _Gomara_, _Hist. Ind._, 61. ‘_Con escotoch, con escotoch_, y quiere dezir, andad acá á mis casas.’ _Bernal Diaz_, _Hist. Verdad._, 2. This, the north-eastern point of Yucatan, is on Fernando Colon’s map, 1527, _gotoche_; on the map of Diego de Ribero, 1529, _p: d’cotoche_; Vaz Dourado, 1571, _C:. de quoteche_; Pilestrina, _c:. de sampalq_. Hood places a little west of the cape a bay, _B. de conil_; the next name west is _Atalaia_. _Goldschmidt’s Cartog. Pac. Coast_, MS., i. 358. Kohl, _Beiden ältesten Karten_, 103, brings the expedition here the 1st of March. Las Casas, _Hist. Ind._, iv. 350, confounds Córdoba’s and Grijalva’s voyages in this respect, that brings the former at once to Cozumel, when, as a matter of fact, Córdoba never saw that island. [9] So called by the natives, but by the Spaniards named San Lázaro, because ‘it was a Domingo de Lazaro’ when they landed. Yet Ribero writes _chãpa_, while Vaz Dourado employs _llazaro_, and Hood, _Campechy_; Laet gives the name correctly; Ogilby and Jefferys call the place _S. Fr^{co} de Campeche_. ‘Los Indios le deziã Quimpech.’ _Herrera_, dec. ii. lib. ii. cap. xvii. [10] Now Champoton, applied to river and town. Ribero writes _camrõ_; Hood, _Champoto_; Mercator, _Chapãton_, and town next north, _Maranga_. Potonchan, in the aboriginal tongue, signifies, ‘Stinking Place.’ Mercator has also the town of _Potõchan_, west of Tabasco River. _West-Indische Spieghel_, _Patõcham_. Laet, Ogilby, and Jefferys follow with _Champoton_ in the usual variations. ‘Y llegaron á otra provincia,’ says Oviedo, i. 498, ‘que los indios llaman _Aguanil_, y el principal pueblo della se dice _Moscoba_, y el rey ó caçique de aquel señorio se llama Chiapoton;’ and thus the author of _De Rebus Gestis Ferdinandi Cortesii_, ‘Nec diu navigaverant, cùm Mochocobocum perveniunt.’ _Icazbalceta_, _Col. Doc._, 340.
