[67] Terrazas was one of the first conquerors, and he accompanied Almagro in the expedition to Chile. Afterwards he became an active agriculturist. Garcilasso de la Vega says that he was very noble, liberal, magnificent, and possessed of all the knightly virtues. He planted vineyards, and in 1555 sent a large present of grapes to Garcilasso’s father, when he was Corregidor of Cuzco, with a request that he would send bunches to all the cavaliers in the town. These were the first grapes ever seen there. Terrazas was also the first to raise carrots in Peru. [68] The best description of the very interesting temple of Cacha will be found in Mr. Squier’s _Peru_ (Macmillan, 1877), pp. 402 to 409. [69] One of the generals of Atahualpa. [70] Another of Atahualpa’s generals. [71] Zarate and Garcilasso de la Vega give the names of Hernando de Soto, and Pedro del Barco of Lobon, as those of the first Spaniards who were sent by Pizarro to Cuzco. Pedro Pizarro, who was at Caxamarca at the time, says that only two were sent, Martin Bueno and Pedro Martin de Moguer. They left Caxamarca on February 15th, 1533, and remained one week at Cuzco. Xeres says that three men were sent. The truth seems to have been that three soldiers named Pedro Moguer, Francisco de Zarate, and Martin Bueno were first sent; but that they behaved with so much imprudence and insolence at Cuzco as to endanger their own lives and the success of their mission. Pizarro, therefore, ordered two officers of distinction, Hernando de Soto and Pedro del Barco, to follow the three soldiers to Cuzco.--See _G. de la Vega,_ Part II lib. i, cap. 31; _Herrera,_ Dec. v. lib. i, cap. 1; _Zarate,_ II, cap. vi; _Gomara,_ cap. cxiv; _Xeres,_ p. 72. [72] Matrons in charge of virgins of the Sun. The word seems to be used here, and elsewhere, for all females connected with the temples. [73] _Uira_ means “grease”, and _Ccocha_, “a lake”. The word for the sea is _Mama-ccocha_. Montesinos says that _Uira_, in the word _Uiracocha_, was a corruption of _Pirua_, meaning all things united together. _Pirua_ literally means a “granary”. Garcilasso de la Vega pointed out that _Uira-ccocha_ would mean a “Sea of grease”, not “Foam of the Sea”: the genitive always being placed first. _Ccochap-uira_ would be “Foam of the sea”. But the Ynca Garcilasso, though he points out the errors of other writers, does not explain the meaning of the word himself. He simply infers that it is a proper name, the original meaning of which is lost; and adds that Blas Valera says that it signified “the will and power of God”, not because that is the etymology of the component words, but because of the God-like qualities ascribed to Uira-ccocha. [74] In the beginning of 1550.
