drew out
[Meaning he/she/it] extended. John of Antioch [writes]: "[it was he] who having captured isolated outposts drew out the war greatly, blunting Hannibal's sharpness with lengthy delays."
Διῆγε· παρεξέτεινεν. Ἰωάννης Ἀντιοχεύς· ὃς ἐρυμνὰ χωρία κατειληφὼς ἐπὶ πολὺ διῆγε τὸν πόλεμον, ἀμβλύνων τὴν τοῦ Ἀννίβου ὀξύτητα χρονίαις διατριβαῖς.
