持擢（又作濯同馳校反方言揖謂之撓或謂之擢江南擢大於撓而揖殊小作撓者面向船頭立撥之作擢者面向船尾坐撥之揖擢也擢而進之字從手經文作掉當世俗字耳）。

Holding an oar (持擢: also written as 濯, the same; [fanqie] chi + xiao. The Fangyan says: "An oar (yi 揖) is called nao (撓), or called zhuo (擢). South of the Yangtze, a zhuo is larger than a nao, whereas an yi is particularly small. One who works a nao stands facing the bow of the boat and sculls it; one who works a zhuo sits facing the stern of the boat and rows it." Yi means zhuo; to advance by rowing. The character is derived from 'hand' (手). The sūtra text writes 掉, which is just a contemporary vulgar character).
