Since the "L" in Greek is written like half of an "M," it is easy to see how copyists might have mistaken "EL" for "M" or "M" for "EL." Since the reading "mixture" is found in several kinds of ancient text, it is probably original. The word for "salve" is also only two letters different from "mixture" and the evidence listed above in braces is spelled partly like "mixture" and partly like "salve."
