Both are used of persons or of things, and with an accusative of the distance): alienum esse, abhorrere a (ab), etc. (figuratively, to be strange to, not to have): dissentire; dissidere; discrepare ab aliquo (not to agree with). To be far remote from a person or thing, longe distare a loco; longo intervallo or procul disjunctum esse a (ab), etc.: not far, parvo spatio disjunctum esse a (ab) etc.; rather far, satis magno intervallo remotum esse a loco: a remote place, longinquus et reconditus locus; latebra (a hiding-place): a remote part of a house, abdita pars aedium.
