- giver of ordinances
Meaning
The Prayer invokes blameless Thesmodoteira alongside Pistis and Dike at Prayer.25. The feminine agent title names a giver of established ordinances. This line does not identify her explicitly as Demeter, so a familiar association from elsewhere should not replace the invocation’s actual wording.
