προνοητής,POxy.472.10 (ii A. D.). III.Πρόνοια Ἀθηνᾶ Athena as
goddess of Forethought,
under which name she was worshipped at Delphi, D.25.34, D.S.11.14, Parth.25, Paus.10.8.6, Plu.2.825b, Jul.Or.4.149b, etc.; at Delos acc. to Macr.Sat.1.17.55, cf. Aristid.1.97 J., Or.37(2).26; also Ἰουλία θεὰ Σεβαστὴ Π.IG3.461: this name of Athena, which is guaranteed by the context in D., Aristid., Jul., Macr.Il. cc., seems to have been a distortion of the name Προναία or Προνᾴα (v. πρόναοσ 1), but πρόνοια is f.l. for Προναία (or Προνᾴα) in Aeschin. (v. πρόναοσ 1), and D.S., Parth., Paus., Plu.Il. cc. shd. perh. be corrected.
