Can anyone explain petauron (var. peteuron) in LXX Prov 9:18:

"For he does not know that mortals (ge:geneis) perish with her, and he
meets with the pole (?)" of Hades (kai epi peteuron hadou synanta(i) ?

Heb has "... b`imqey $'ol qru'eyha "and her guests are in the depths of
Sheol"  qr'yh is parsed as qr', so peteuron must come from b`mqy. But
how? Looks like an inner-Gk error.
