The offering is to be made in this way: Offer to Jupiter Dapalis a cup of wine of whatever size you
wish. Observe the day as a holiday (feria) for the oxen, their drivers, and those who make the
offering. When you make the offering, say as follows: 'Jupiter Dapalis, since it is due and proper
(oportet) that a cup of wine be offered thee, in my home among my family, for thy sacred feast; for
that reason, be thou honoured by this feast that is offered thee.' Wash your hands, and then take the
wine and say: 'Jupiter Dapalis, be thou honoured by this feast that is offered thee and be thou
honoured by the wine that is placed before thee.' If you wish, make an offering to Vesta. The feast
of Jupiter consists of roasted meat and an urn of wine. Present it to Jupiter religiously, in the proper
form (Jovi caste profanato sua contagione). After the offering is made, plant millet, panic grass,
garlic, and lentils.
