2. An Athenian, nick-named "squinter" (στρεβλός). He was attacked by Plato, the comic poet, in his play called "Peisander," which, however, chiefly dealt with his more famous name-sake [No. 1], with whom he seems to have been consessed temporary. In the "Maricas" of Eupolis the two are thus distinguished,--

  1. ὁ στρεβλός; οὔκ ἀλλʼ ὁ μέγας, οὑνοκίνδιος.
