I'm stuck on 8d. Reminder or aid to remembering. (10) I've got P?Y?A?T?R? but can't find a word to suit. Any thoughts, anybody?

Phylactery

a small leather box containing Hebrew texts on vellum, worn by Jewish men at morning prayer as a reminder to keep the law.

See Collins online dictionary:

1.
Also called: Tefillah Judaism (usually plural)
either of the pair of blackened square cases containing parchments inscribed with biblical passages, bound by leather thongs to the head and left arm, and worn by Jewish men during weekday morning prayers
2.
a reminder or aid to remembering
3.
archaic
an amulet or charm

Thanks elle and cerasus. My little word-finder came up with the word but I didn't see the connection to being a reminder.
Cheers, Andy
