of many minglings

Meaning

Physis is πολύμικτος beside interweaving, affection and knowledge (X.11). The adjective presents multiplicity through mixture, whether as her composition or her involvement in combinations. The line does not name the ingredients, so it cannot by itself establish a particular philosophical account of mixture.
