[5] Thus as transmitted -- but it was emended to
Amoskopia in the Suda
editio princeps, to
Ammoskopia by Diels, and to
Amnoskopia (or
Astrokopia) by Lobeck. If
Amnoskopia is correct (cf. LSJ on a related noun and verb), it could mean either literal 'sheep-watching/shepherding' or divination by means of watching sheep (so G.R.S. Mead).
