Summary
Returning to the Ynca Manco Ccapac, we have to say that after founding Cuzco in the two divisions which we have described before, he ordered many other towns to be built. To the eastward, among the people who dwell on that side, so far as the river Paucar-tampu, he founded thirteen villages on either side of the royal road of Antisuyu. We do not name these, to avoid prolixity; but all, or nearly all, are inhabited by the nation called Poques. To the westward of the city, over a space eight leagues long and nine or ten broad, he ordered thirty villages to be built, which are scattered on either side of the royal road of Cuntisuyu. These villages were inhabited by three tribes with different names, which were, Masca, Chillqui, Papri. To the north of the city he formed twenty villages, and peopled them with four different tribes, namely, Mayu, Cancu, Chinchapucyu, and Rimac-tampu. The rest of these villages are in the beautiful valley of Sacsahuana, where the battle and capture of Gonzalo Pizarro took place. The most distant of these villages is seven leagues from the city, and the others are scattered about on either side of the royal road of Chincha-suyu.
To the south of the city he peopled thirty-eight or forty villages, eighteen of the Ayamarca nation, which are scattered on either side of the royal road of Colla-suyu, for a distance of three leagues, beginning from the borders of the salt pans, which are a short league from the city. It was there that the lamentable battle between Don Diego de Almagro the elder and Hernando Pizarro was fought.
