- she who traverses the air
Meaning
The Moon is addressed as ἠεροφοῖτι at IX.2 beside her bull-horned shape and nightly course. This is the vocative of the distinct feminine formation ἠεροφοῖτις, not an incorrectly shortened form of ἠερόφοιτος. Both formations concern roaming through air, but their separate forms should remain retrievable.
