According to S.C. Woodhouse, there are two terms in ancient
Greek for strigil:  pse:'ktra and stlengi's (Gen. stlengi'dos).

Pliny, Natural History 34.61-62 discusses Lysippus of Sicyon
and his famous Apoxyomenos (now known from a later copy).
Marcus Agrippa placed the statue in front of his baths in Rome,
but the emperor Tiberius liked the statue so much he took it
and put it in his bedchamber, but the public outcry forced
him to return it.
