占の内, according to Yano, though Nakajima gives simply the Hiragana for shime: しめ. Archaically 占 may be read as shime instead of the usual ura/sen. In this sense, it means "demarcating a place", while 内 means "inside." Along with the possessive particle no, this gives us "Inside a Marked Space", probably referring to a sacred area. (ED)
