English Latin
Father Mars, I pray you that the Senate and People of the Nova Romans, the Quirites, may be inspired by the courage and skill of these horsemen of the Equirria and that you may be propitious to the Senate and People of the Nova Romans, the Quirites. Father Mars, who hitches his swift horses to the chariot of time to bring on the month of March, to you it is proper for a cup of wine to be given, for the sake of this thing therefore may you be honored by this feast offering Mars Pater, te precor uti fortitudine et peritia horum equitum Equirriae Senatus Populusque Norvorum Romanorum Quiritum iniciantur et sies volens propitius mihi et Senatui Populoque Novorum Romanorum Quiritum. Mars Pater, qui currui temporis equos citos suos iungit ut mensem Martii adduucat, tibi fieri oportet culignam vini dapi, eius rei ergo hac illace dape pullucenda esto

I poured a libation on the altar and added laurel for Mars.

Again I washed my hands in preparation for the redditio.

"Mars Pater, qui in campo suo certamen Equirriae semper prospicit, macte istace dape pollucenda esto, macte vino inferio esto"

["Father Mars, who always observes from afar the race of the Equirria on his own field, may you be honoured by this feast offering, may you be honoured by this humble wine"]

I offered Mars Pater laurel, cakes and wine on the altar.

"Quirine Pater, uti te ture commovendo bonas preces bene precatus sum, eiusdem rei ergo macte vino inferio esto"

["Father Quirinus, as by offering to you the incense virtuous prayers were well prayed, for the sake of this be honoured by this humble wine"]

"Vesta Dea, custos ignis sacri, macte vino inferio esto"

I poured a libation on the altar.

"Illicet"

["It is permitted to go"]

I profaned wine and cakes, and I partook of the epulum with Mars Pater, praying as I ate and offering libations in my private devotions.

Piaculum

Since the historical caerimonia of the feria of the Equirria has not yet been recovered (in fact we know virtually nothing about it; a few formulae here have been adapted from Ovid's _Fasti_) , I offered a piaculum to Mars Pater if anything in this caerimonia should offend him:

"Mars Pater, si quidquam tibi in hac caerimonia displicet, hoc ture veniam peto et vitium meum expio"

["Father Mars, if anything in this ceremony is displeasing to you, with this incense I ask forgiveness and expiate my fault"]

I offered incense on the altar.

"Mars Pater, si quidquam tibi in hac caerimonia displicet, hoc vino inferio veniam peto et vitium meum expio"

["Father Mars, if anything in this ceremony is displeasing to you, with this humble wine I ask forgiveness and expiate my fault"]

I poured a libation on the altar.
