ABSTRACT
WITHIN a few days after giving up the kingdom to his son, Inti Capac, Sinchi Cozque died; as we have said, he was more than one hundred years old, having ruled seventy years. His son made for him a sumptuous interment, and offered up great sacrifices in the temple of the Sun, because it would prepare for him a good dwelling among the rest of his predecessors. The funeral rites having been terminated, he caused certain kinsmen of the Lords of Antaguailas to be called together; he had had them with him for a certain purpose during more than three years, treating them well, and letting them always see the works and operation of his great authority. So they were well content at the court of Inti Capac. Now, perceiving that the affairs of the provinces were enjoying peace, he commanded these men to go thence into their own provinces, charging them to remain faithful toward him and to hold in fear the Sun, his father, who had shown himself so favourable to him [Inti] and so much opposed to them.
