ἄμμιγα=“ἀνάμιγα” (cp. 519): Dem. or. 21 § 52 (in a “μαντεία”), “ἱστάναι ὡραίων Βρομίῳ χάριν ἄμμιγα πάντας” (‘promiscuously,’ i.e. of mixed fruits). Here the sense seems to be, ‘confusedly’; there is a tumult of pangs: cp. 1053 ff. The objection of taking it as merely ‘therewith,’ or ‘at the same time,’ is that the “κέντρα” are only the workings of the hydra's venom.
