δ519Διάγειν
to spin out, to protract
"He neither spun out his words, nor was he given to subtle argument, and no one heard him being sarcastic." Philostratus the Lemnian is speaking about Apollonius.
Διάγειν. οὐδὲ διῆγε τοὺς λόγους οὐδὲ λεπτολογίᾳ ἐδίδου οὐδὲ εἰρωνευομένου τις ἤκουσε. περὶ Ἀπολλωνίου φησὶ Φιλόστρατος ὁ Λήμνιος.
