ABSTRACT
When Mayta Capac was still nearer to man's estate, he received the crown or fringe of empire in presence of a great multitude, as well natives as strangers, who assembled for the purpose. As Mayta Capac had no sister with whom to marry, he took for his wife the daughter of a lord or captain of a place called Oma, which is at a distance of two leagues from Cuzco. After the marriage, there was a district near the city where dwelt a tribe called Alcaviquiza, who had shown no desire to form a friendship with those of Cuzco. The king Mayta Capac took possession of the fields and inheritances of the dead as conqueror, and divided them among the people of Cuzco. There was great rejoicing for the victory, and sacrifices were offered up to the oracles, which they held to be sacred.
