It describes an impious or irreverent act, particularly in a religious context. It is not a standard Koine Greek word and appears to be a misspelling or a very rare variant of a word like 'ἱεροσυλία' (sacrilege) or related to 'μιαρός' (defiled) and 'φαγεῖν' (to eat). Given its unusual form, it is most likely a misspelling.
