A study of this newfound Celtiberic bronze tablet whose content is akin to the one of Botorrita I. The author accepts or criticises, according to the cases, some interpretations of F. Villar - C. Jordán, and also some ones which he himself had formerly proposed. Tiricantam is the name of a sacred oak grove (berkunetakam), the seat of the senate of the tribal confederation of Contrebia Belaisca, which was without doubt the author of the stipulations engraved in the tablets. He accepts turuntas ‘torrent’, the Huerva at the foot of the hill of Botorrita. And he studies specially the agricultural and live stock vocabulary of the tablets, which remains in the modern name Botorrita ≺ *Gʷoto-prtom, or ‘ford of the cows’, ‘Oxford’. It was the ford on the Huerva, before climbing to the acropolis where the sacred precinct lay.
