 1) to draw to one's self
    1a) to salute one, greet, bid welcome, wish well to
    1b) to receive joyfully, welcome

 Used of those accosting anyone; of those who visit one to see him a
 little while, departing almost immediately afterwards; to pay
 respects to a distinguished person by visiting him; of those who
 greet one whom they meet in the way (even not in the East, Christians
 and Mohammedans do not greet one another); a salutation was made not
 merely by a slight gesture and a few words, but generally by
 embracing and kissing, a journey was retarded frequently by saluting.
