[Meaning they] acting wantonly.
*mazw=ntes: trufw=ntes.
The headword, which must be quoted from somewhere but is attested only here, is present participle of
maza/w, masculine nominative plural.
Hesychius mu56 glosses
mazw=nta as
to\n ma/ttonta ta\s ma/zas "one who forms barley-cakes". But the Suda's figurative application (for which cf. generally
u(permaza=| at
upsilon 321) stems from the use of
maza in one of at least three sexual senses: female genitalia, anus (man's or woman's), phallus; consult J. Henderson,
The Maculate Muse (New Haven 1975) 144 #175, 200-201 #446, 202 #452.
