Headword:
*stleggi/s
Adler number: sigma,1125
Translated headword: strigil
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] a scraper.[1] Also [sc. attested is the related participle]
stleggizo/menos ['being strigilled'], [meaning] being scraped off.[2]
Aristophanes in
Old Age [writes]: "if it is necessary to follow little boys, holding a ball and strigil."[3] In the
Banqueters: "this is not a strigil nor a flask."[4]
*stleggi/s ['strigil'] is also the word for an ornament of wrought gold, which goes around women's heads.
"And the strigil is among the things that exist for a particular purpose and among the the things not for a particular purpose. Some things are for one particular purpose alone, and no one would use them for another purpose, for instance [sc. one uses] sight only for the purpose of seeing; but some things one might use also for some purpose that they were not created for. Thus one might use a strigil not only for the purpose of scraping, but also for the purpose of drawing up water."[5]

Notes:
The first paragraph of this entry essentially =
Photius,
Lexicon sigma541 Theodoridis, and a scholium to
Plato,
Hippias Minor 368C. It is attributed to Aelius
Dionysius (sigma35) by Cohn and Erbse. Other references in Theodoridis, and below.

Photius alpha2367.

Aristophanes fr. 139 Kock, 145 Kassel-Austin (141.2a Edmonds). The quotation contains the headword in the accusative singular.
[4]
Aristophanes fr. 207 Kock (and Edmonds), 214 Kassel-Austin. Where the Suda and
Photius have
au(/th ('this'), the scholium to
Plato (followed by Erbse and Edmonds) has
au)th=| ('for her'), yielding a different translation: "there is neither strigil nor flask for her." Kock prints
au)tw=| ('for him'), which Adler also notes as an emendation of Bergk.
[5] Derived from Alexander of
Aphrodisias,
Commentary on Aristotle's Topics 455.21-26 (on
Aristotle,
Topics 145a12).
