The Greek that is translated as “self-controlled” in English is translated in the following ways:
- Isthmus Mixe: “he should make decisions slowly” / “that they shouldn’t act in a strange manner”
- Tabasco Chontal: “they shouldn’t go vainly doing things which are not good”
- Ojitlán Chinantec: “to walk right and straight” (source: John Beekman & Harwood Hess in Notes on Translation, March 1963, p. 1ff.)
