What it meant

ὑπερεμέω · hyperemeō — LSJ

vomit violently, cause suffusion, over-fullness of the veins

vomit violently: metaph. of over-full veins, cause suffusion, ὑπερεμήσαντα τὰ φλέβια Hp. Morb. 2.17; ἢν ὑπερεμήσωσιν αἱ φλέβες ib. 18 (-εμέσ- ib. 4): hence ὑπερέμετος, ὁ, over-fullness of the veins, ib. 4 (vv.ll. ὑπερεμέειν, ὑπεραίμετον): but forms of ὑπεραιμέω (q. v.) shd. prob. be restored; the corruption has been helped by the words of Hp., τὸ μὲν οὔνομα οὐκ ὀρθὸν τῇ νούσῳ, οὐ γὰρ ἀνυστὸν ὑπεραιμῆσαι (-εμῆσαι codd.) οὐδὲν τῶν φλεβίων κτλ.; ὑπεραιμήσειε stands in Morb. 2.4 cod. G.
