[Meaning ones] outside emotion/passion.[1]

Notes:
[1] cf. generally alpha 2873. The present headword, neuter plural of this superlative, does not occur in the passage about to be quoted, but see next note.
[2] A poor paraphrase -- at times destroying the sense altogether -- of Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 1.9.1-3. This paragraph details what he learned 'from Sextus' (Sextus of Chaeronea, one of his teachers: sigma 235) about kindliness; at the end of the passage a)paqe/staton occurs.
