Greek/What does this say?

Question
"Me phobou, w <name>, gar ouk eimi o demiourgos outou"

I know nothing about Ancient Greek (not even sure that's a sentence or how correct it is), but my friend won't tell me what it means. What's the general idea, at least?

Answer
Hello,

such a transliteration  of a sentence, which in ancient Greek letters would sound “Μή φοβοῦ,…. γὰρ  οὐκ εἰμὶ ὁ  δημιουργὸς  τούτου”, means:

-“Do not be affrighted, <name>,  for I am not the demiurge/the maker  of this”.

Best regards,
