it was in the jurisdiction of Santa Fe, and Ramiriquí in the jurisdiction of
Tunja. Guatavita was the King. There were others with titles of chiefs. Today

respected by their vassals. Guatavita had a law of justice, which
it was paid with death. No Indian could kill a deer or eat it without

because Guatavita only served in its enclosure without engaging in the war and
that if he wanted, it would be easy for them to place him on the throne and lordship of all.
In the drunkenness, someone told Guatavita what had been suggested by the
soldiers from Bogotá, and that this last one had not found it bad, because of
that Guatavita got stirred up and ordered his captains to bring two thousand Indians
for their defense and to be prepared for whatever might arise;

great treasure and the defeat of the opposers, for which he commanded his
men who will take those who burn and invite them, and of being
