[They] acting wantonly.
Present participle of
μαζάω , masculine nominative plural, evidently quoted from somewhere.
Hesychius glosses
μαζῶντα as
τὸν μάττοντα τὰς μάζας , "one who forms barley-cakes."
The present figurative application (for which cf. generally
ὑπερμαζᾷ 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; J. Henderson,
