Incas; Peru -- History -- To 1548
[252] _Rumi_, “a stone”; _ñaui_, “eye”. “Stone-eyed.”
[253] This is the reading of the Peruvian editor. The Spanish editor
has Sepocopagua.
[254] _Atoc_ means “a fox” in Quichua.
[255] _Ucumari_ means “a bear” in Quichua.
[256] Ylaquita, according to the Peruvian editor.
[257] Abante in the manuscript, for which the Spanish editor suggests
Ahuapanti.
[258] The fullest account of the war between the two brothers is to be
found in the narrative of Balboa. It is made interesting by a romantic
love story, which is developed as the military record unfolds itself.
There is another detailed account of the war given by Santa Cruz
Pachacuti (see my Translation, pp. 111-119). The chapters devoted to
it by Garcilasso de la Vega give less detail and are very prejudiced.
On his own showing, he exaggerates the extent of the massacres at
Cuzco (I, lib. ix, chapters 32 to 39).
[259] Melchor Bravo de Saravia was one of the judges who came out
with the President Gasca. He was afterwards President of the Audience
of Chile. After the departure of Gasca, he was, as President of the
Audience, practically Governor of Peru from 1552, when the Viceroy
Mendoza died, until 1556, when his successor, the Marquis of Cañete,
arrived.
[260] Hernando de Santillan was a colleague of Bravo de Saravia. He
wrote an account of the origin, lineage, and government of the Yncas,
which was first printed at Madrid in 1879, edited by Don Marcos
Ximénes de Espada.
