[351] στρεύγεσθαι, from stem “στραγγ”, as in “στράγξ”, ‘a drop;’ Lat. string-o, strictus. The metaphor here may be from a thing being squeezed through in drops; so that the meaning will be ‘to be drained of strength.’ The variant “στρέγγεσθαι” (crit. note) is noticeable, and the Scholl. generally interpret rightly “κατὰ στράγγα φθείρεσθαι . . ἐστι κατ᾽ ὀλίγον στραγγίσαι καὶ ὑπορρεῖν”.
