Ἐσάλευε

['Was riding'] and 'was riding high': this (sc. latter) is applied both to ships and to people. Applied to boats, as Dio in the Roman Matters [writes]: "for a few of the boats, and the lightest among them, were anchoring close to land, but the greater number of them, and the larger ones, were riding high beyond the shallows."¹ Applied to people, as in the following: "he was riding high on one of his children."² The expression means that he was keeping his hopes fixed on them.
And Aelian [writes]: "since, however, he was already riding on the ultimates, his relatives took him into [a shrine of] Asklepios."³
