ABSTRACT
When the lord desired to enjoy a royal hunt, it is noteworthy how many animals were taken and killed; as many as thirty thousand head. Tents were pitched in a position selected by the lord, on such occasions as he was pleased to amuse himself with the chase. The lord was so placed as to witness the slaughter. Then certain Indians entered the enclosure armed with ayllos, which are used to secure the legs, and others with sticks and clubs, and began to seize and kill. Among the great quantity of captured animals there were many guanacos, which are rather larger than small donkeys, with long necks like camels. If the king wished to kill any of the chase without entering into the tumult, it was arranged in any way he pleased.
