Of the sixth king who reigned in Cuzco, and of what happened in his time; and of the fable or history they relate touching the river that passes through the midst of the city of Cuzco

A historical account reveals that during the reign of Inca Eocca, a significant event occurred involving the city's first river. The narrative describes how the king, upon being injured during his coronation, retreated to a high hill where he summoned his sister and wife. This period marked a pivotal moment in Cuzco's history, as it was the time when a river began to flow through the city, addressing a longstanding need for water sources. The text blends historical records with cultural practices, such as the tradition of ear-plate wearing among the Orejones, providing insight into Inca societal norms and rituals during this era.
