[903] περιτρέφεται, curdles, MSS. “περιστρέφεται”, which is obviously inferior, cf. Od. 14.477 “σακέεσσι περιτρέφετο κρύσταλλος”, where also several MSS. give “περιστρέφετο”, though it is meaningless. So Od. 9.246 “ἥμισυ μὲν θρέψας λευκοῖο γάλακτος”. The idea evidently is that Paieon miraculously turned the flowing blood to sound and solid flesh.
