Meaning [they who were] raised on high.
*ai)wrhqe/ntes: a)nti\ tou= metewrisqe/ntes.
From an ancient gloss on
Herodotus 6.116.1, a passage where the Persian war-fleet in 490 BCE temporarily halts off
Phaleron, at that time
Athens' naval harbor. For this headword and gloss cf. generally
epsilon 1899,
epsilon 1900; and for other forms of the verb
ai)wrew see
alphaiota 264 and
alphaiota 265. But NB: in the
Herodotus passage this aorist passive participle (masculine nominative plural) is actually the compound
u(peraiwrhqe/ntes (web address 1), which, more than the simple verb, does have the nautical sense required here (heave to, lie off: see LSJ s.v., 3).
