Ἀρταμουξία.
This is a coined word (hapax legomenon in this context) constructed by Aristophanes from ἄρτος (bread) and a suffix suggesting a woman's name or a specific role, likely functioning as a pun on 'Artamis' or a similar name, satirizing the pretensions of the Thesmophoria festival participants or a specific character's attempt at a grandiose title.
