Theōri

（θεωροί). Persons sent by the Greek States on any special mission (θεωρία) associated with religion, such as the offering of sacrifice or the consultation of an oracle. Among some of the Doric States, such as the Messenians, Mantineans, and Troezenians, there were special officers called Theori, who consulted the oracles and interpreted their responses.
