Porphyry

On the Life of Plotinus


[3rd c.] Porphyry, "On The Life of Plotinus," in Six Enneads, by Plotinus, translated by Stephen Mackenna and B. S. Page (London, 1717-1930; Google Books: Online Library of Free eBooks).

2. Plotinus was often distressed by an intestinal complaint, but declined clysters, pronouncing the use of such remedies unbecoming in an elderly man: in the same way he refused such medicaments as contain any substance taken from wild beasts or reptiles: all the more, he remarked, since he could not approve of eating the flesh of animals reared for the table.
