Translation: [Meaning one who is] acting contrary to what is appropriate. "But being by nature over-hot and [...] agitated he[1] managed many things with an impression of craziness; [...] to such an extent differing from others in his witlessness, [by as much] as not being able to learn from experience [is more serious] than falling when struck the first time."[2]

Notes:
[1] The Roman consul P. Claudius Pulcher, upon his arrival in
Sicily in 249 BCE (where he was to suffer a calamitous naval defeat by the Carthaginians). See on him the OCD4 entry (p.328) by John Briscoe; and, besides
Diodorus (next note),
Polybius 1.49-52 with Walbank 1.113-115.
[2] A clumsy approximation and abridgement of
Diodorus Siculus 24.3.2 (via
Excerpta Constantiniana EV I 260.10-16).
