μετεωροσκόπον κτλ. A frequent taunt: cf. e.g. Pol. 299 B μετεωρολόγον, ἀδολέσχην τινὰ σοφιστήν, Phaedr. 270 A, Parm. 135 D, Ap. 18 B, Isocrates adv. Soph. 8, Antid. 262, and Ar. Clouds 228, 1480 with Blaydes' note. The implication is that ὁ μετεωροσκόπος is blind to τὰ ἐν ποσίν: cf. Theaet. 174 A. Cobet revives Porson's conjecture μετεωροκόπον (after μετεωροκοπεῖς in Ar. Peace 92), but the text is perfectly good: cf. μετεωρολέσχας in 489 C.
