After several months and years had elapsed, the Ynca granted his people another privilege, more important than those already mentioned, which was that of boring their ears. This privilege, however, was limited with reference to the size of the hole, which was not to be so much as half that of the Ynca, and each tribe and province wore a different stopper in the ear hole. To some he granted the privilege of wearing a wisp of straw in their ears, the size of a little finger, and these were of the nations called Mayu and Cancu. Others were to have a tuft of white wool, which was to come out on each side as far as the length of the first joint of a man's thumb, and these were of the nation called Poques. The nations called Muyna and Huarac Chillqui were ordered to wear ear ornaments made of common reeds, called by the Indians tutura. The nation of Rimac-tampu and its neighbours wore their ear ornament made of the pole which is called maguey in the Windward Islands, and chuchau in the general language of Peru. When the bark is removed, the pith is very soft and light. The three tribes called Urcos, Yucay, and Tampu, all living in the valley of the river Yucay, were ordered, as a particular favour and honour, to wear a larger hole in their ears than any of the other nations. But, that it might not reach to half the size of the Ynca's hole, he gave them a measure of the size of his hole, as he had done to all the other tribes.
