ABSTRACT

Besides the Alcabisas there were other tribes, as we have mentioned before. These Manco Ccapac and Mama Huaco totally destroyed, and more especially one which lived near Ynti-cancha, in the nearest land, called Humanamean, between Y nti-cancha and Cayocachi 1, where there also lived another native Sinchi named Culunchima. Manco Ccapac entered the houses and lands of all the

natives, especially of the Alcabisas, condemned their Sinchi to perpetual imprisonment, sending the others to banishment in Cayocachi, and forcing them to pay tribute. But they were always trying to free themselves from the tyranny, as the Alcabisas did later\

Having completed the yoke over the natives, their goods and persons, Manco Ccapac was now very old. Feeling the approach of death, and fearing that in leaving the sovereignty to his son, Sinchi Rocca, he and his successors might not be able to retain it owing to the bad things he had done and to the tyranny he had established, he ordered that the ten lineages or companies that had come with him from Tampu-tocco should form themselves into a garrison or guard, to be always on the watch over the persons of his son and of his other descendants to keep them safe. They were to elect the successor when he had been nominated by his father, or succeeded on the death of his father. For he would not trust the natives to nominate or elect, knowing the evil he had done, and the force he had used towards them. Manco Ccapac being now 011 the point of death, he left the bird indi enclosed in its cage, the tupac-J

' tluri2 or sceptre, the llapa and the

slmtur-paucar, the insignia of a prince, [though ryram,] to his son Sinchi Rocca that he might take his place, [and this wit/lOut the C01lsent or election of any of the llatives].
