Have I translated the following correctly "como otro espanol"?

Question

I have a question about the meaning of the following sentence -

Lázaro pasó a Indias y en 1633 obtuvo licencia, como otro español, Jerónimo de Arrona, para establecerse en la jurisdicción del pueblo de San Juan de los Lagos, donde fue terrateniente.

Translated as -

Lázaro went to India (Mexico) and was licensed in 1633 as a Spaniard, Jerome Arrona to settle in the jurisdiction of the town of San Juan de los Lagos, where he landed.

Is my interpretation correct that Lázaro went by the new name of Jerome Arrona?

Answer 1

No, I believe this means that Jerónimo de Arrona, is another Spaniard. "Como otro español", like another Spaniard, (who obtained his license.)

And, "donde fue terrateniente" means, where he was a land owner, not "where he landed".

Make sense. - JazSpanish, Feb 12, 2012
