Same or similar entry elsewhere: see the references at
Photius lambda390 Theodoridis. The headword is third person singular, present indicative, of the rare verb
loimeu/omai. It would seem to be quoted from somewhere, but more probably it is
mis-quoted from
Proverbs 19.19
LXX, which has the corresponding subjunctive,
loimeu/htai; cf.
Hesychius s.v.
[1] Tentatively attributed by Adler to an ancient
Life of Pythagoras. For 'bad mixture' cf. under
nu 495. For the term
katastasis see
kappa 788 -- but for the sense of it used here, see LSJ s.v., II.2.
