Commentary
[ Hide commentary ]This fragment has only been preserved in Latin. It does not bear any relation to any of the other fragments we do possess; it sounds more like a Platonic or Aristotelian contrast between the pleasures of the body and the pleasures of the rational soul. For these reasons, most scholars treat this fragment with caution.
