ABSTRACT

The Orejones, and even all the other natives of the provinces, laughed at the proceedings of the Inca Urco. His wishes being understood, presently Inca Urco began the fasts and other observances in conformity with their customs, he came forth with the crown, and went to the temple of the Sun to perform sacrifices, and there were the usual feasts and drinking bouts at Cuzco. Inca Urco had married his sister, that he might have a son by her, to succeed to the lordship. He went about the city drinking, and when he had an arroba or more of liquor in his body, he conducted himself indecently. He never built any house or edifice, he disliked arms, and in short they relate no good thing of him except that he was very liberal. For not only did he vanquish the Chancas, but he subjugated the greater part of the nations who inhabit those kingdoms.
