- saffron
Meaning
Aither’s rubric prescribes saffron under the label θυμίαμα. This is an offering-direction occurrence, not a word in the hymn’s verse. The material should be distinguished from saffron-robed divine clothing: shared colour-language does not make a garment an offering or supply a recipe.
