Greek display:    
Headword: *)ammoa/tin
Adler number: alpha,1616
Translated headword: ammoatis, sand-snake
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
A type of snake.
Greek Original:
*)ammoa/tin: ei)=dos o)/fews.
Notes:
The headword appears to be accusative singular, quoted from somewhere -- probably delta 1306, where it reappears as one of three synonyms for the dipsas.
The amm- part of the name connects this venomous snake with sand (and in delta 1306 its favoured habitat is said to be Libya and Arabia).
