Dear Bingley: it just occurred to me that the first use of the word "scytala" was something like "when the scytala came to Agesilaus..." But a scytala (a rod) did not come to him, just the strip of parchment with the letters on it . The scytala was already in his possession. Is this a metaphor, the small part being given the name of the large part?
