[3]
But of those who exceed in relation to
the bodily enjoyments with regard to which we speak of men as temperate or profligate, he
who pursues excessive pleasure, and avoids the extremes1 of bodily pains such as hunger, heat, cold, and the various pains of touch
and taste, not from choice but against his own choice and reason, is described as
unrestrained not with a qualification—unrestrained as regards these pleasures
and pains—as is one who yields to anger, but just simply as unrestrained.
1 Probably this should be amended to ‘moderate bodily pains,’ cf. 4.4.
