====First paragraph==== 

out of six paragraphs in total, lines 3-8 (the first couple lines are too damaged to be clearly legible):

{{quote|{{lang|osc|(3) …&nbsp;deiuast maimas carneis senateis tanginud am&nbsp;… (4) XL osiins, pon ioc egmo comparascuster.

In Latin: 
{{Quote|{{lang|la|(3) …&nbsp;iurabit maximae partis senatus sententia [dummodo non minus] (4) XL adsint, cum ea res consulta erit. Si quis peremerit, prius quam peremerit, (5) iurato sciens in committio sine dolo malo, se ea comitia magis rei publicae causa, (6) quam cuiuspiam gratiae aut inimicitiae causa; idque se de senatus (7) sententia maximae partis perimere. Cui sic comitia perimet (quisquam), is eo die (8) comitia non habuerit.{{sfn|Buck|1904|p=231}}}}|author=|title=|source=}}

In English: 

{{Quote|(3) …&nbsp;he shall take oath with the assent of the majority of the senate, provided that not less than (4) 40 are present, when the matter is under advisement. If anyone by right of intercession shall prevent the assembly, before preventing it, (5) he shall swear wittingly in the assembly without guile, that he prevents this assembly rather for the sake of the public welfare, (6) rather than out of favor or malice toward anyone; and that too in accordance with the judgment of the majority of the senate. The presiding magistrate whose assembly is prevented in this way shall not hold the assembly on this day.{{sfn|Buck|1904|p=235}}

Notes: Oscan ''carn-'' “part, piece” is related to Latin ''carn-'' “meat” (seen in English ‘carnivore’), from an Indo-European root ''*ker-'' meaning ‘cut’―apparently the Latin word originally meant ‘piece (of meat).’<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.etymonline.com/word/*sker-?ref=etymonline_crossreference#etymonline_v_52632|title = Etymonline: Proto-Indo-European *sker-}}</ref> Oscan ''tangin-'' "judgement, assent" is ultimately related to English 'think'. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=think|title = Etymonline: think}}</ref>

====Second paragraph==== 

<nowiki>=</nowiki> lines 8-13. In this and the following paragraph, the assembly is being discussed in its judiciary function as a court of appeals:

In Latin:

{{Quote|{{lang|la|(8) ...Quis quandoque post hac comitia habebit magistratus de capite (9) vel in pecunias, facito ut populus iuras sententiam dicant, se de iis id sententiae (10) deicum, quod optimum populum censeat esse, neve fecerit quo quis de ea re minus (11) iuret dolo malo. Si quis contra hoc fecerit aut comitia habuerit, multo tanta esto: n. MM.

|author=|title=|source=}}

In English:

{{Quote|(8) ... Whatever magistrate shall hereafter hold an assembly in suit involving the death penalty (9) or a fine, let him make the people pronounce judgment, after having sworn that they will such judgment (10) render, as they believe to be for the best public good, and let him prevent anyone from, in this matter, (11) swearing with guile. If anyone shall act or hold a council contrary to this, let the fine be 2000 sesterces. And if any magistrate prefers to fix the fine, he may do so, provided it is less than half the property (13) of the guilty person.{{sfn|Buck|1904|pp=236}}|author=|title=|source=}}

====Third Paragraph====

<nowiki>=</nowiki> lines 13-18

In Latin:

{{Quote|{{lang|la|(13)... Siquis pro matistatu alteri capitis aut pecuniae (14) diem dixerit, is comitia ne habuerit nisi cum apud populum quater oraverit sciens sine dolo (15) malo et quartum diem populus perceperit. Quater, neque plus quinquens, reo agito (16) prius quam iudicationem dabit, et cum postremum cum reo oraverit, ab eo die (17) in diebus XXX proximis comitia non habuerit. Si quis contra hoc fecerit, eum siquis volet magistratus moltare, (18) liceto, dumtaxat minoris partis pecuniae liceto.{{sfn|Buck|1904|pp=232}}}}|author=|title=|source=}}

In English: 

{{Quote| (13) ...If any magistrate, in a suit involving a death or a fine for another, (14) shall have appointed the day, he must not hold the assembly until he has brought the accusation four times in the presence of the people without (15) guile, and the people have been advised of the fourth day. Four times, and not more than five, must he argue the case with the defendant before he pronounces the indictment, and when he has argued for the last time with the defendant, he must not hold the assembly within thirty days from that day. And if anyone shall have done contrary to this, if any magistrate wishes to fix the fine, (18) he may, but only for less than half the property of the guilty person be permitted.{{sfn|Buck|1904|pp=237}}|author=|title=|source=}}
