Translated headword: was far from
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he/she/it] kept away from, was separate from. Eunapius [writes]: "for [he] was not far from the name of Leon. For the animal [i.e. a lion] is also accustomed to do this."[1]
[sc. Also attested is the phrase] 'was not far from', [meaning] was not different. Sophocles [writes]: "tall, just sprinkling his hair with white, but [he] was not very far from your own form."[2] Jocasta is speaking [sc. to Oedipus] about Laius.

Notes:
[1] Eunapius fr.76 FHG (4.48).
[2] Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 742-3 (with comment from the scholia there). The text has xnoa/zwn, ('sprinkling'), rather than the Suda's xhra/zwn ('bereaving'). See web address 1 below.
