Definition

An alternative plural form of famulus; household servants or attendants in Latin contexts.

Etymology

An alternate Latin plural of 'famulus,' possibly influenced by other Latin noun declensions. This form appears less commonly than 'famuli' but reflects variations in classical Latin usage.

Kelly Says

The existence of multiple plural forms of 'famulus' shows how Latin was actually inconsistent and messy—grammar textbooks clean it up, but real ancient writing was full of variations and alternatives.
