Cleaning with oil and strigil

[Epictetus]

I've wondered what the order was: oil first and then bath, or bath first and then oil. I thought I had read someone talking about towels at some point (Martial? Seneca?) and I wondered if the oily residue was wiped off prior to the bath. If so, judging from Marcus, they couldn't get it all.

Edit: I just checked Gregory Hays' translation of Meditations. He has:

Like the baths - oil, sweat, dirt, grayish water, all of it disgusting. The whole of life, all of the visible world.

Now that is a bit more vague, and may not imply oil in the water. :???: However, I think the Loeb translations are more literal.
