Re: [tied] Artemis and the Bear (long)

One thing that you need to take note of is that Meid's interpretation is hotly debated by scholars and not universally accepted at all. That having been said, here is the translation of the particular section:

"For whom they sow arable land, to him - when they cut the crops - when the custaicos brings in the crops, whatever he should cut outside or inside (the enclosure) - of these, he shall give the amounts constituting the tribe."

Here is a loose version of Meid's translationof Botorrita 1 - I can recommend to you his "Celtiberian Inscriptions" and "Gaulish Inscriptions" both available for a decent price from Archaeolingua press, Budapest.

"Three-cantrevs ("tribal territories")(of the) Bregunetaca ("belonging to high-ground ") of Tocoitos and Sarnicios, thus decreeing as not-permitted:

Neither is it permitted to place-upon, nor to work, nor damage by breaking, except by permission of an authority,

And whoever seeks to overstep these (prohibitions), he should take cut-silver schillings (in the amount of) 100 units, donating (to) Tocoitos,

And whoever wishes to build a cow-shed, or stable or walled enclosure, or a shelter, he should construct an access road .....

If he should cut in order to construct, within three auspicious days, out of the enclosure, he shall remove (it), bringing (it) into the three-cantrevs ("tribal territories") of Neitos.

For whom they sow arable land, to him - when they cut the crops - when the custaicos brings in the crops, whatever he should cut outside or inside (the enclosure) - of these, he shall give the amounts constituting the tribe.

In this inner area neither ancios nor esancios (neither enclosed nor open land) outside of (or apart from) the land adjacent to Sarnicios shall be harvested by the people of Acaina.

Who wishes to utilize pasture land or arable land at Tocoit-, shall give the decameta ("tithe").

This, the cult-feast of Tocoit- and Sarnicios, we proclaim, truly and holily, (namely I), Ablu Ubocum, the regens of the council (and the following persons)" (as named on the reverse side).
