made
them,
that
they
gave entire credence to their words, adored them
as
Children of the
Sun,
and obeyed them
tU
their Princes:
And thefe poor wretches relating thefa matters one to the
other, the fame thereof
fa
encrea[ed, that great numbers, both
of
Men and
Women,
focf.t!d
together, being willing to follow to what place foever they fhrmld g11ide them.
Th11s great multitude.r
of
People being affembled together, the Princes gave order that
Provifton fhould be made of fuch fruits, as the Earth prod11ced for their fiifl:emmce
>
left
being fcattered abro11d to gain their food, the main bot!J fho11ld be divided, and the number;
diminifhed: others
in
the mean time were empl<?Jed
in
b11ilding houfes,
ef
which the Prince
g~v~ th~
a model
and
form.
I n this manner our Imperial
Ctty
began to be ptopled, being
d1v1ded into two parts, one ofwhich
wM
called
Hanan
ozc ,
which is a1
rm~ch
as the
Up•
per Cozco,
and the other
Hurin Cozco,
which
is
the
Lower Cozco·
thofe which were
affembled under the King were
ef
the Vpper Town, and
thofe
under the f2..!!_een
were
of the
Lower:
Not that this
d~fference
was made out of
any
refpell to SHperiority, for
thnt
they
were to be Brothers, and Children of the fame Father and Mother, and in the fame eq11a/iry
of
Fort1me; but
one!~
it farved to difting11ifh the followers of the King
from
thofa of the
$_~een ~ a~d
to remain for
an
ever/afting Memorial of their
fir
ft
Beginning and Onginal
~
wzth this difference onel)•, that the Vpper
ZCO
fhould be as the Elder
tfnd the Lower
tU
the
young~ Chi!d~en.
And this is the rea(on that in all our Empire thi; diverjity
of
lineage
hath remained, being everJince diftinguifhed into
Hanan
Ayllu,
and.
Hurin
Ayllu,
which
u
the upper and the lower Lineage, and
Hanan Suyu
and
Hurin Suyu
whfrh is the
11pptt'
1111d the lower Tribe.
