Zuidema used a reprint published in 1956 in the Biblioteca de Autores Españoles, vols. 91–92. The reprint omits a shrine (11 on the sixth ceque of Chinchaysuyu) which is named and described in the original edition. Zuidema made a gratuitous emendation instead of checking the earlier publication (1977, p. 242).

The reference is to p. 151. There is an incomplete edition from another copy of the manuscript (and hence with different errors) ed. by Julio A. Luna González-Polar, El Cuzco y el gobierno de los Incas (Lima: D. Miranda, 1962). In this edition, the reference is on p. 30.
