Translation
'Within' has the same force as 'into'; in effect, into [the broad bosom] of the sea.
Also, in the orators, is the phrase 'to keep the hand within',1 which some thought to be an error; but they were wrong, forgetting that, just as we might say 'inside' and it would mean both in something and into something, so the term 'within' is applied to both situations.

Εἴσω ἁλός· ἰσοδυναμεῖ τὸ εἴσω τῇ εἰς· οἷον εἰς ἁλός. καὶ παρὰ τοῖς ῥήτορσιν εἴρηται, εἴσω τὴν χεῖρα ἔχειν, ὅπερ ἔνιοι ἁμάρτημα ἔδοξαν εἶναι· ἀλλ' ἐπλανήθησαν ἀγνοοῦντες, ὅτι ὥσπερ ἔνδον εἴποιμεν, δηλοῖ δὲ καὶ τὸ ἔν τινι, καὶ τὸ ἔς τινα, οὕτω καὶ τὸ εἴσω ἐφ' ἑκάτερον παραλαμβάνεται.
