Using a translator here you can read: "What happened with Tisquesusa is the same as what happened with the cacique Quemuenchatocha. “These are names that we don't know where they really came from, because they do not appear in the original documents. In the case of the cacique of Hunza, in the chronicles he appears as Quemuenchatocha, but in the original documents the name Eucaneme appears instead. And the origin of the name Quemuenchatocha is not from the cacique but from a nephew of his who was called Quiminza”, says Gamboa.
I have read a transcription of the contemporary archive documents mentioning the name "Eucaneme" for this cacique, it's located in Seville's General Archive of Indies. It's "AGI, J 488, pieza 6, ff. 4 r.-5 v." Testimony of Ramiriquí, psihipqua of Tunja entrusted to a Diego de Robles
