[Meaning] they were angry.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐμηνίων· ὠργίζοντο.

Betacode

*)emhni/wn: w)rgi/zonto.

Notes

Same or similar entry elsewhere. The headword is third person plural, imperfect, of mhnia/w (cf. epsilon 983, mu 956). It must be quoted from somewhere, perhaps Cassius Dio (as epitomized) on the troops' hostility towards the praetorian prefect (and would-be emperor) Tigidius Perennis.
