But I prefer "invoked decrees"

Explanation:

According to the Greek Babiniotis Dictionary (which is regarded by most people to be the best Greek dictionary there is), εξαιτούμαι = ζητώ με παρακλητικό τρόπο or επικαλούμαι

Ζητώ με παρακλητικό τρόπο = request in a beseeching or entreating way

Επικαλούμαι = invoke, appeal or plead

Invoke = cite or appeal to (someone or something) as an authority for an action or in support of an argument.


For examples, please see:

Although I have said above that I personally prefer the term “invoked decree” (simply because I feel that it is a more accurate translation of “εξαιτούµενα διατάγµατα”), the term “requested decree” appears to be much more common and to be used with greater frequency.

Another reason why it may be better to use the term “requested decrees” is because, in law, the word ‘invoke’ can have a different meaning and the term “invoked decree” can also mean or imply that you are referring to a decree that permits you to do something because the law allows or forces you to. See:

http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/invoke

http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/invoke

http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/invoke

However, compare those definitions of the meanings of “invoke” with these:

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/invoke

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/invoke

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/invoke


So, by using the term, “requested decree”, you would at least be removing any degree of ambiguity that the use of the term, “invoked decree”, might cause.

Sorry, the second Internet reference for “requested decree” above should have been this:

https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q="requested decree"&st...

or this:

https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q="requested decree"&st...

If the last two Internet references I gave do not work, write “requested decree” and/or “requested decree” law (with the quotes) in the Google search box in Google Chrome and this should take you to about 17 pages of relevant examples.
