Contestatus deos
This is a a phrase within a sentence, and translates;
“Calling on the gods”
Shouldn’t the participle end in -os? ; as in contestatos?
Contestor, -ari, contestatus sum = I call as witness

No, because it is the subject of the sentence (a masculine singular subject) that is calling on the gods, not the gods who are calling on someone else.
