Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

multĭfārĭam and multĭfārĭē, advv., v. multifarius fin.

multĭfārĭus, a, um, adj. [multus], manifold, various, multifarious (the adj. post-class.): militares coronae multifariae sunt, Gell. 5, 6, 1.
Hence, adv., in two forms.

  1. A. multĭfārĭam (acc. form), on many sides, in many places (class.): multifariam dixerunt antiqui, quod videlicet in multis locis fari poterat, id est dici, Paul. ex Fest. p. 142 Müll.: sancius multifariam factus, in many places, Cato ap. Gell. 3, 7, 19: multifariam defossum aurum, Cic. de Or. 2, 41, 174: hodie multifariam nulla (ju dicia) sunt, id. Leg. 1, 14, 40: in castris visae togae, Liv. 3, 50, 3; 10, 31, 8; 21, 8, 4 Drak. and Fabri N. cr.; 33, 18, 7; 44, 41, 8: nasci, Plin. 25, 8, 53, § 93.
  2. B. multĭfārĭē (post-Aug.), in many ways, variously: eadem est Ortygia, quae multifarie traditur: nunc Asterianunc Lagia, vel Cynetho: Pyrpile etiam, Sol. 11, § 19; Placid. Gloss. p. 482 Mai. (but in Plin. 18, 7, 10, § 54, where Sillig and others read multifarie in the sense of multifariam, Jan. and Detlefsen read multifariam).
