εὐηθείης ἠλιθίου ἀπηλλαγμένον → free from silly foolishness, many removes from folly

ἀπηλλαγμένος εὐηθίης → many removes from folly?
Hdt.1.60

Not quite get that...

[billberg23]

Eng. "many removes from" (old-fashioned elegant English) means "many times (conceptually) removed from."  A clearer translation of Herodotus 1.60.3 (εὐηθείης ἠλιθίου ἀπηλλαγμένον) might be "free (lit. "having escaped") from silly foolishness."

many removes from → απέχει πολύ, πόρρω απέχει, κάθε άλλο παρά
