Στραγότερος· ἀναιδέστερος. ὁ ἅγιος Βασίλειος ἐν τῷ Κατὰ μεθυόντων· μήπως ὁ μὲν ἀνυπότακτος στραγότερος γένηται, ὁ δὲ κατανενυγμένος τῇ περισσοτέρᾳ λύπῃ καταποθῇ.

1The headword is comparative, masculine nominative singular, of the adjective strago/s or straggo/s (sigma 1160); so spelled in the Ambrosian Lexicon (according to Adler) but stragw/teros in the Synagoge and Photius, Lexicon s.v. ↩
