ABSTRACT
On receiving the news of war which the Inca was engaged in, and it seeming likely that he would find a difficulty in bringing it to a successful end, the conspirator resolved to kill him who had been left as governor of the city. Capac declared that Viracocha could not retain the sovereignty, and he killed the governor, with many others, whose blood stained the altars and sanctuaries, and the figure of the Sun. Some approving of the rebellion, joined with Capac; others, deploring the murders, took up arms, and there was thus a division, many being killed both on one side and on the other. When he had got possession of the city, he wanted to appear in public with the fringe, that all might receive him as king. The news of all this came to the royal camp, and the Inca, when he reached the city, went straight to the temple of the Sun to offer up sacrifices.
