1565. Having left the affairs of his court in good form, and 

 having entrusted the administration of the Kingdom to one of his 

 brothers, he set out with his army for the Provinces of Huanuco. 

 The Indians there were warhke and savage, but he conquered them 

 and settled them in villages, for they had none. He built a famous 

 temple to the Sun in that province, and a House of the Chosen 

 Virgins, which he made the mother house for the Kingdom ; he put 

 over 30,000 Indians there to serve them and collect the tribute for 

 the Sun and his consorts ; that was one of the finest and most massive 

 buildings erected in those Kingdoms, as is shown by the ruins of 

 the [illegible].

1566. Then he went on to the N. up to the Provinces of Aya 

 Huacac and Calva ; his wars with them and their subjugation cost 

 him over 8,000 Incas. He subdued the Province of Los Paltas ; the 

 Paltas' ideal of beauty is to have the head flattened with a board. 

 From this province they brought that excellent fruit (i.e., the palta, 

 aguacate) to Cuzco, to the hot valleys, where they planted it. He 

 subdued Garruchamba, Saraguro, and Giron, and other provinces. 



1567. Then he went ahead and subdued the large Province of 

 Los Canaris ; the great Inca Tupac himself took part and taught

 were, he imposed a heavy tribute of lice upon them, so that they 

 should clean themselves up. 



1568. In the Province of Tomebamba he built a famous Temple 

 of the Sun and House of the Chosen Virgins, with other splendid 

 buildings which he adorned and enriched with much gold, silver, 

 and precious stones, emeralds, turquoises, and others of value ; he 

 made those royal apartments the capital of a Kingdom, to which 

 they repaired with their tribute from all the adjoining provinces, 

 which are rich in gold ore. 



1569. From this province he went on with this army to the Prov- 

 inces of Tiquisambe, Chanchan, Quesma, Pumallacta, Zaguarzongo, 

 Tiucassa, Cayambe, UrcoUaso, Chimbo, Puruaes, and others; he 

 brought them under his sway and gave them teachers and governors, 

 to inculcate his laws and govern them in peace. 



1570. He went on toward Guayaquil and subdued the settlements 

 of Pimocha, Jipijapa, Picoasa, and Huancavilcas, who sent him gifts
