STRA´GONA
STRA´GONA (
Σιραγόνα), a town in the southeastern part of Germany, either in the country of the Silingae or in that of the Diduni, on the northern slope of Mons Asciburgius. (
Ptol. 2.11.28.) If the resemblance of names be a safe guide, we might identify it with
Strigau, though this hardly agrees with the degrees in which it is placed by Ptolemy; whence others suppose it to have been situated at
Strehlen, between
Schweidnitz and
Brieg. [
