The reading †μανίαισ† is a conjecture by Dindorf (or later editors) to replace the manuscript reading †μανίαισ† (or a similar corruption), attempting to make sense of the dative plural adjective modifying the implied subject or as an adverbial dative of means. However, the manuscript tradition actually preserves a difficult reading (often cited as †μανίαισ† or similar corruption in the scholia) where the text likely reads †μανίαισ† (dative plural of μανία) or requires a different syntactic construction. The specific crux here is the lack of a clear antecedent for the dative plural and the semantic force of φλέγων λύσσῃ (burning with madness/frenzy) alongside παράκοπος (mad, frantic). The emendation or interpretation hinges on whether μανίαισ is a dative of instrument (with madnesses) or a corruption of another form, a point debated in the apparatus criticus of the play.
