[B-Greek] Question regarding HRMENOI

I was searching for parallels for a phrase found in
Jn.10.24 
hEWS POTE THN YUCHN hHMWN AIREIS

The question being asked to Jesus by the Jewish
leaders is something to the effect:
"How long will you keep us in suspense?"

Lit. "Until when do you lift up our soul?"

I was searching for parallels to this and I came
across an enigmatic phrase in Josephus (Ant. 3.48)
hOI D'HSAN EPI TON KINDUNON TAS YUCAS HRMENOI

Whiston has it:
"So the people were elevated in their minds"
Thackery has it:
"And they with hearts elated at the peril"

I did not give the whole verse because my question is
about HRMENOI. I can not with certainty determine the
lexical form here. If this is simple a pres m/p part.
then the root would be something like HR. The verb
AIRW becomes HR- in the impefect and aor. Either this
lexeme is not in LS and BDAG or is very irregular.
Please correct me if my reasoning is in error.
