Note 416 — Chapter LXXXIV
Clements R. (Clements Robert) Markham translation
The Huancas were conquered by Ccapac Yupanqui, the brother and general of the Ynca Pachatutec; and at that time they are said to have numbered thirty thousand souls in the valley of Xauxa. Garcilasso informs us that, before they were subjugated by the Yncas, they worshipped the figure of a dog, and feasted on the flesh of dogs. He surmises that they adored the dog-idol because they were so fond of roast dog. G. de la Vega, i, lib. vi, cap. 10. Huancar (“a drum” in Quichua,) is probably a name given to this nation by the Yncas.
