Colometry

Colometry is a scholarly technique used in linguistics, particularly in the analysis of ancient texts. The name comes from the notion of Ancient Greek: κώλον (colon, pl. cola) used in the structuring of the Classical rhetorical tradition and poetry, designating a part of the verse in the latter.
