|The ritual must be performed during the ordinary bimonthly ceremonies:

:First, purify the earthen (jar) in the grove;
::then,(by?) rising in groups of five, the brothers must elect an ''auctor'' in the assembly of brothers;
::then, the ''auctor'' must sit on the stone in the assembly.

:The ''auctor'' shall designate a piglet (or victim) and a sheep; the groups of five must inspect them;
::when the groups of five have accepted the piglet and sheep (by?) rising,
::they shall then go along the accustomed way to the field.

:From there (or on the way), load the fire (with incense) with a prayer.
:Carry the piglet and the sheep on a litter, (and) drive (it to the field).

:In the field, set up the litter,
::then (or where?) the sacrifice must take place.

:First, attach a forked (branch) to the table, 
::then attach (or insert?) the lattice frame,
::then make a roof above the whole table. 
::On this (table?), attach a beam(? or cutting board?);
::on this, attach the small beam (? or under-board?).

:Attach (this) to the roof with three bronze nails;
::attach the beam (or cutting board) with the other three bronze (nails);
::attach the small beam (or under-board) with two bronze (nails).

:Then go to the grove for the (remaining) sacrifices.
:After arriving at the grove,
::call (them) there to the ceremony.

:In the grove, place the fire on the altar.

:Take the unblemished piglet.
:Offer (it) first to Jupiter-Pater at the right side, (away) from the altar,
::for the Atiedian Brotherhood, 
::for the acts performed in the sacred gathering,
::for the Iguvine community,
::(and) for the Iguvine trinity. 
:Make the declaration without error.

:Then take the unblemished sheep.
::Make an offering (of it) to Pomonus Poplicus.
:Pronounce the declaration without error.

:Use the accustomed formulas next to (or regarding?) the sheep
::for the Atiedian Brotherhood,
::for the acts performed in the sacred gathering,
::for the Iguvine community,
::(and) for the Iguvine trinity.

:Offer the piglet's ribs on the table.
::With it, make grain offerings.

:Offer (or sacrifice?) the sheep on the ground (or turf altar?) for burial.

:Cut off two pieces from it (and put them?) on one side of the altar (or as burnt offerings?).
::Offer this on the ground, 
::(and) add a strucla cake.

:Then cut two (parts) (and put them?) on the other side of the altar. 
::Then make an offering (or 'present them'?) by the chapel (or statue?) of Pomonus Poplicus,
::(and) add a fragment (or 'the phallic portion'?) of the same strucla cake.

:Then cut three part (and put them?) on the third side of the altar.
::Then, on the upper part of the altar, make an offering by the chapel (or statue?) of Vesona of Pomonus Poplicus,
::(and) add a comb-like (or vulva shaped?) portion from the same place (or likewise).

:Make an offering with the same vases to Pomonus (and) to Vesona,
::by the altar (and) by the chapel,
::with un-cut parts (and) with uncuttable (parts)
::and (even?) (the parts) without fat(?), (and) with the lower raw (parts),
:::stretch forth (your hands),pray, approach (or circumambulate) (the altar), (then) stop.

:With vases used (and) unused (or wet and dry?), without defect, by the statue (or chapel?),
::pray to Pomonus Poplicus (and) to Vesuna of Pomonus Poplicus.

:With oil-sticks (or spoons?) (used and unused, without blemish?),
::pray to Pomonus Poplicus (and) to Vesuna of Pomonus Poplicus by (their) statues.

:Then anoint the statues,
::(and distribute) the ''erus'' (communal meal?) of each (deity, or portion).

:Then present (''pur-tivutu'') to Pordoviens the libation and the ''mefa'' cake from the vessel,
::kneeling outside the boundary to the right side of the altar (but facing) toward the altar,
::(and) declare (it to be) without blemish.<ref>J. W. Poultney The Bronze Tables of Iguvium 1959 pp. 242 ff. https://archive.org/details/bronzetablesofig00poul/page/n5/mode/2up</ref><ref>L.
