[Meaning he/she/it] separated,[1] put apart from one another. "It was impiety which dispersed mankind from God. Whoever retires[2] from human affairs and pursuits by means of his own virtue and piety, aiming only at God himself, both enjoys [His] presence while alive and returns to Him after death".[3]

[2] Adler's apparatus notes Bernhardy's opinion about the participle
a)pa/gwn: 'participium cum extra structuram sit positum, videntur pauca quaedam excidisse'. But the text seems quite in order and does not require any intervention. The pronoun
o(/stis is used as an equivalent of
pa=s o(/stis which frequently occurs with a substantivized participle in later and Christian Greek, in some instances without the article. See
Matthew 7.26
pa=s o( a)kou/wn (cf. 7.24
pa\s o(/stis a)kou/ei; Gregory of Nazianzus,
Carmina moralia PG 37.613.12-614.1
pa/ntes ga\r e(no\s ge/nos, o(/stis a)na/sswn, o(/stis a)nassome/nois e)nari/qmios "all of us, we are sons of one [God], whoever has power as well as whoever is counted among the subjects"; id.
Contra Julianum 1 (PG 35.636.14)
kai/ moi sunaganaktei/tw pa=s o(/stis lo/gois xai/rwn, kai/ th=| moi/ra| tau/th| proskei/menos, "Let whoever likes these words and is submitted to such a condition to be angry at me".
