Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] used to dishonourably insult, belittle.1
"And on the whole he used to reject men moderate in custom who also took a care for their own lives, but he used to honour and promote spendthrifts and those who lived for drink and dice."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀπεδοκίμαζεν· ἀτίμως ὕβριζεν, ἐξεφαύλιζε. καὶ καθόλου τοὺς μὲν κοσμίους τοῖς ἤθεσι καὶ τῶν ἰδίων βίων ἐπιμελουμένους ἀπεδοκίμαζε, τοὺς δὲ πολυτελεῖς καὶ ζῶντας ἐν μέθαις καὶ κύβοις ἐτίμα καὶ προῆγεν.
