The headword phrase is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
[1] Paraphrase of a passage quoted at greater length at
sigma 235, in reference to either
Sextus of Chaeroneia or
Sextus Empiricus; ascribed by Adler to
Hesychius of Miletus. These are the only attestations of the headword phrase in the sense of "in high honor in someone's eyes". Otherwise, it begins appearing in the 6th century AD with John the Lydian (e.g.
On the Roman Magistrates 112.18) and others, but only in the sense of in someone (else's) honor.
