The coast people who were descended from the people at the region of the head-waters, where their sacred ancestors died near the fires of the Sun, which Sun is the chief inspector of men, women, and the spirits in whose temple burns the Sun-fire, the source of other fires of the Sun, the coast-land tribes thus referred to are the Chincha, and their rulers, who were punished and overthrown when Quito's freedom was ended by Ata and his warriors; but previous to these sacred ones being overwhelmed and ended, the Eagle tribe had conquered and overturned their chiefs, bringing these to an end, and leaving the people without a chief or head, for the Chincha nation.

The Huarina, whose chief was gorged and whose clan is dead. The Uramarca of the head-waters whose clan is dead. The Huarina were gorged
