The headword, extracted from the quotation given, is accusative plural feminine. See further, next note
[1] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. Usually the headword has the negative connotation of 'errant' or 'frenzied' (cf.
phi 808,
phi 809), but here, uniquely, it seems to have the neutral connotation that the related verb
foita/w and certain other reflexes of the same stem normally have (
phi 803,
phi 806).
