Prosdocimi calls it the "intermestruae cereales": the declaration of the dog is set at the climax of the "feriae" . Jörg Rüpke remarks the association of Hondos with Juppiter is one among the numerous in the tablets, in which a complex multilevel and hierarchic structure of relationship among theonyms is envisaged. This phenomenon would put the god into a sort of host–guest relationship with the one given in the attributive. In the case of Hondos this feature is apparent also in the fact that his cults at the Hondia festival take place in the Jovian Grove but those at the lustration of the citadel (when the god bears the epithet of Çerfios) in the Coredian Grove. These deities are invoked and receive sacrifices aimed at obtaining their favour for the protection of the "arx" itself, of the community and of the fields in connexion to the lustration rites of the Iguvian citadel at different locations of augural relevance. The rites concerning the "Praestota" and the two "Tursae" involve a complex of libations aimed at obtaining a twofold action: the safety for the Iguvine community and the offsetting and expulsion of its traditional enemies. The debated points are few as far as the "Praestota" and "Tursa" are concerned. The two theonyms correspond to the Latin "Iuppiter Praestes", "Iuppiter Praestitus", "Iuppiter Praestabilis" and the "Lares Praestites". "Tursa" corresponds to god "Terminus", being the deity that represents the boundaries of the city at different locations of augural relevance: these are without and within the city for "Tursa Çerfia" and "Tursa Iovia" respectively (TI I b; VII a). Such a meaning is connected to the Umbrian word for border, "tuder": "Tursa" is written "Tuda" in the Etruscan tablets, the intervocalic "d" being pronounced as a weak "rs" (i.e.: ḍ). Dumézil on the other hand, on the grounds of the function of "Tursa", a deity whose action is to scare, inspire terror into the enemies, opines the theonym derives from a verbal root equivalent to Latin "terreo", I scare (interpreting accordingly "tursitu, tremitu" in VIb 60).
