the

Inca

proceeded to another People called

Papamtf.rca,

from the

Papas

or Dewlap, ' hich are great bunches that hang from their

throats ; the which were fubdu d by rhe

Inca

in the fame manner as the others:

Thence he marched eight League farther, conquering

311

before him, uncill he

came to a confiderable Plantati n, called

m1pampa,

which fignifies the place of

Fefiival, the principal Feftival of the un being called

.Raymi

w.hich

we have

treated at large in a diilinct Chapter. And it happerung when this people wa

fubdued, ( whofe Coumrey was

all

a pleafant and even Plain,) that the grand

Fefiival of

Raymi

was then come ; wherefore the

Inca

appointed that place for che

celebration of it; for, as we have faid, it was not a material point in their Reli–

gion, where or in what place that eall: was kept by the

Inca

himfelf, provid d

that the High Priell:, and the

ther

lr1ca1,

bferved it at

Co:uo,

with all the formali–

ties

and folemn rites of it.

From

Raymipampa

he marched three Leagues farther to

Suta,

which he fubdued

with like facility ; for the Natives feeing the greatell: part of their Countrey alrea–

poifeffion of the

Inca,

yielded themfelves with all readinefs into his power.

From

Hta

the Army marched

a people called

Llavantu,

which was the moll:

remote part of the Province of

Chachapuya,

'vhich alfo yielded, defp

ing

to make relifience againfl: the

Inca,

who now was becomeJabfolure Maller

f the

whole Pr0vince ; the moll: confiderable people of which, we h ve already menti–

oned, though befides thefe there were many linle Plantati

not worth th na–

ming. The Conquefl: of this Province was very difficult and laborious, by rea-

fon of the Mountain and {hong Paff es, defended by a ll:out and fierce p

le.

From

L lavantu

the

Inca,

Tupac Yupanqui,

made a detachment of hjs Army,

fub–

due the Province of

Muyupampa;

through which the

aliant

Ancohmil/a

took his

March, when he call: off hi fubjeelion to the

Inca,

as we have rebr din th

ife

Viracocha;

thi Province is fituated within the

Antu,

and once ackn wledge

fubj eltion to the

ChachtU,

but whether it was by force, or by agreement

n–

federacy, or alliance, the

Indians

are ignorant; it lyes

Leagues Eall:ward from

Llavttntu.

The Natives of

Muyupampa

ha ing received information, that the

hole Pro–

vince of

Chachapuya

had yielded t

the

I nca,

did alfi with much readine

eceive

his

R~ligion,

Laws and Cufl:oms: the like alfo did the Province called

Cafcayunca,

and divers others of leiS note

~ithin

that Divifion; all which being rec iv dint

favour of the

I nca,

he commanded, that they fhould be infuuB:ed in the Know–

ledge and Religion of the un, and all neceffaries provided for their better wel–

fare and fubfifien e;

which end, he ordered Aquedu& to be

ade, their Lands

to be plowed, and broken up, that

they might yield _greater abundance, and in–

creafe; and .that the

Cur11cM

fhould be vefied with the finefi

Compi,

which they e–

fieemed as a high favour; and with thefe and

~ther

enefits the e ple remained
