Meaning
The Moirai are called παντοδότειραι at LIX.18, immediately before the description of their taking necessity from mortals. The plural feminine title stresses what they give. It is closely related in sense to πανδώτειρα but remains a separate compound, not a spelling variant to be silently substituted.
