one hundred and seventy-four whole tributes, or four thousand seven
hundred and ninety-six souls. The settlements of these two capitals
are near one another, except some located in the mountains six or seven
leagues away, where there are many Christians. The said encomienda is
instructed and visited with difficulty. Four religious of the order
of St. Francis-three priests and one lay brother-live there. They
visit the following encomienda. ... MCLXXIIII.

_Polangui_: _Pedro de Salazar_--Between Guas and Libon, Pedro de
Salazar owns a village named Polangui, with six hundred and forty-one
tributes, or two thousand five hundred and sixty-four souls. By
means of the above-mentioned visitation, they are tolerably well
instructed at present; but if more religious can be had, they might
have two more, so that there might be two in Guas, two in Polangui,
and two in Luyon, which would furnish sufficient instruction. Caceres
rules it in affairs of justice. ... DCXLI.

_Canaman_: _Gregorio Sanchez_--Gregorio Sanchez has Canaman as an
encomienda, with three hundred and six whole tributes, or one thousand
two hundred and twenty-four persons, including adults and children. It
receives instruction from two Franciscan friars--one a priest, and
the other a lay-brother--so that it is well instructed. ... CCCVI.

_Alimanan_: _Diego Díaz Marmolejo_--Alimanán, the encomienda of
Diego Díaz Marmolejo, lies on the way to Canaman. It has six hundred
whole tributes, or about two thousand four hundred souls. There are
two religious of the order of St. Francis in the said encomienda,
who furnish sufficient instruction. Caceres administers justice
therein. ... DC.
