Pithiatic = Pythia
I think this should help: Pythia. I'm not sure why the Y changed to I.
The important part is the last sentence of the second paragraph:
"One common view has been that the Pythia delivered oracles in a frenzied state induced by vapors rising from a chasm in the rock, and that she spoke gibberish which priests reshaped into the enigmatic prophecies preserved in Greek literature."

Ah, then again, just how much credence would you want to grant the advice of someone in a hallucinogenic frenzy? I have these deed papers for a bridge you might be interested in.AHA! as usual, the elders recognized the import and usefulness of "altered states"!
Thanks so much!
