[Meaning] away from dust.¹
Without struggle and fight; or comfortably, from a metaphor of athletes who win so comfortably that they do not even get dusty.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀκονιτί· χωρὶς κόνεως. ἄνευ ἀγῶνος καὶ μάχης· ἢ εὐμαρῶς, ἀπὸ μεταφορᾶς τῶν ἀθλητῶν τῶν οὕτως εὐμαρῶς περιγινομένων ὥστε μηδὲ κονίσασθαι.
