A punishment used by the ancients, which some suppose to have been the smearing of the body with honey, and exposing the person to flies, wasps, etc. But the author of the notes on Hesychius says it is derived from the Greek, to bend or stoop, and signifies that kind of punishment still used by the Chinese, called by Sir George Staunton, “the wooden collar,” by which the neck of the malefactor is bent or weighed down.
