should have their ears pierced ; they are the ancestors of the nobiHty 

 and gentlemen of Cuzco, the so-called "orejones" (big ears). Many 

 of the villages established by Mango Capac grew and increased only 

 to be destroyed and laid waste by the tyranny of the officers of 

 Atahualpa, and those that remained [they] were transferred to larger 

 settlements by the Viceroy Don Francisco de Toledo. 



1538. Inca Mango Capac governed the realm and city which he 

 had founded and converted, over 40 years, according to the best 

 historians of those ancient days; he died in the year 1071, leaving 

 as his legitimate and universal heir Prince Sinchi Roca, his son by 

 the Queen Mama Oclla Guaco, his sister and wife. In addition he 

 left over 100 sons and daughters by other wives and concubines ; 

 he charged them to observe his laws and his good administration, 

 and to see that their vassals were well treated ; and then he took leave 

 of them, saying he was going to rest with his father the Sun, who 

 was calling him. 



1539. King Sinchi Roca began reigning that same year of 1071, 

 and after inspecting his Kingdom, he subdued to the S. the Provinces 

 of the Canas and Canchis and Puquinas, as far as Chungara, 20 

 leagues farther than his father's conquests. Others say however that 

 he subdued also Omasuyo, Cangalla, Asillo and Azangaro, Huancane, 

 Pucara, and to the E., 40 leagues ESE. from Cuzco, the Province 

 of Caravaya. And having governed his realm and what he had con- 

 quered in peace and wise administration for 34 years, he died in the 

 year 1105, leaving as his universal heir Prince Lloque Yupangui, his 

 legitimate son by his sister and wife Mama Cora, not to mention 

 over 130 other sons and daughters whom he left, both by his legiti- 

 mate wife and nieces as well as by numerous other concubines whom 

 he had ; he charged him to treat his vassals well, as their father the 

 Sun had enjoined upon them. This Sinchi Roca built the fortress 

 of Pucara.

1540. Lloque Yupangui, third king of the great city of Cuzco, 

 succeeded King Sinchi Roca his father in the royal title in the year 

 1 105, and as soon as he had paid the last rites to his father, he 

 inspected his Kingdom, attended to the needs of his vassals, and 

 instituted reforms in the Province of Los Canas. Having done this, 

 he went to Collao, where he subdued the Provinces of Ayaviri, Atun- 

 colla, CoUasuyo, Chucuito, Have, Juli, Pomata, and Zepita, and began 

 the conquest of the Province of Los Pacajes. On returning to Cuzco,
