the ancestors of those on the coast of the
Cañario, and of the Mucoas of the coast, all
fought for seven years, but after six years the
Cañario began to relax. The Guanacas and the
Eagle tribes also, after six years attacking of
the place of the Shakes, and after these six years
of attacking, and by the aid of these Cañario, the
freedom of the Snakes was stopped after these six
years. Then the Maya clan threatened the
Cañario, and the free homes of the tribes
beloved, Then these Mayas turned and attacked the
ancestor's clan of the royal bands, but the
Cañario brought this freedom to an end after six
years. Then the Scyri of Quito, a prince of the
Sun-fires, overwhelmed the Mocoa clan, and the
royal band of the coast-lands, after eight years
of struggle with these and the Intagas of the
coast-lands, and the Yambayas brought it to an
end. The Intagas and the Chinchas derived their
Sun-fires from the Royal-Charcas. Their princes
were chiefs of the children of the Sun. The
sacred Chinchas, among the coast people, the
Sun's men, who as free men of the Chin had
returned, had these sacred Chin, to the coast as
masters: the chief body they were of the
Cha-Rapas.
Chimborazo had a handsome son, of his
body the chief descendant, named Duchicela, they
were of the sacred head-waters people of the Sun,
some of whom went to the coast-lands, our
ancestors, from their bodies. A temple was seven
years in building by these ancestors, the war
chiefs and the Mancus. They made it for their
Sun-fire, for they were Sun's people, and of the
Charcas.
"Duchicela was the sacred head of the
Sun's people, the Chimbu. Toa, who became his
chief wife, she was water-borne, and in the front
of all taken as the chief descendent. In the
temple of Quito for seven years staying, this
chief of the Sun's people the Chimbu; the lady Toa
and all her tribes thus obtained. In these days,
in the coast lands, the souls suffered by the dead
bodies being gorged, of the Sun-families, by the
Serpents who thus finished, these, the Sun's men
of Sun's ancestors, being driven below by these
Serpents; and the free mothers to wives turned by
them. The Guaracas, the Rapas, the Intagas, and
their sacred heads; the Snakes overwhelmed and
their power brought to an end, and these holy ones
were punished and overwhelmed; they were thus
cruelly punished and overrun, these sacred heads,
these holy war-birds of the tribes. The Sun-fires
of the coast in those days, on the coast, were
extinguished. (Some characters here
indistinguishable.) The tribes dwelling near the
head-waters were attacked by the Eagle tribes,
and for five years were overwhelmed, and for
another five years were watched; then the Rapas
undertook this duty for five years; then the clan
of the Royal-bands did so for four years. Then
the Snakes attacked the Mocoa for four years.
Then the chiefs of the Sun-peoples gathered the
Charcas, the Eagle tribes, the Royal clan, and
overran the Snakes for five years; then the Cha-
