[Meaning] the overseers of Dionysos¹ and followers of the phallus, wearing women’s dress. The penis when erect is called a phallus, and poems that are sung with accompanying dances at the upright phallus are called phalluses.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἰθύφαλλοι· οἱ ἔφοροι Διονύσου καὶ ἀκολουθοῦντες τῷ φαλλῷ, γυναικείαν στολὴν ἔχοντες. λέγεται δὲ φαλλὸς ὁτὲ μὲν τὸ ἐντεταμένον αἰδοῖον, καὶ ποιήματα δὲ καλεῖσθαι, ἃ ἐπὶ τῷ ἱσταμένῳ φαλλῷ ᾄδεται μετ' ὀρχήσεως.

See also iota 251. The present entry is loosely based on the one in Harpokration s.v., commenting on the occurrence of this nominative plural in a lost speech by Hyperides (fr.50 Jensen) and citing other sources including comedy. See also Hesychius iota424 and Photius iota83.
1This phrase is transmitted as the (problematic) noun epiorkoi in Hesychius and Photius (above). For Hesychius, Latte printed his own conjecture, epikrotoi; for Photius, Theodoridis endorses Dindorf's opinion that the phrase here in the Suda be accepted.
