Struck with the bow: the player strikes the string with the bow instead of drawing it across, a battuto stroke.
Printed over string staves at the passage it governs, in Mahler 5 i on each staff of the divided cellos and basses (Peters edition). It holds until a playing direction such as gestrichen or arco cancels it.
A battuto stroke asked for in German: the bow strikes the string instead of drawing across it, giving a dry, rhythmic tap. Name the wood (mit dem Holz, col legno) if that is what you mean, since this wording does not say which part of the bow strikes.
Mit dem Bogen geschlagen is one of 1760 terms in the Gradus musical dictionary: the words, abbreviations and instrument names that appear in printed scores, plus the vocabulary composers use to talk about them.
