Fames · Esuries · Inedia
Fames is hunger from want of food, like λιμός, in opp. to satietas; whereas esuries is hunger from an empty and craving stomach, in opp. to sitis; lastly, inedia is not eating, in a general sense, without reference to the cause, though for the most part from a voluntary resolution, like ἀσιτία. Hence fame and esurie perire mean to die of hunger, whereas inedia perire means to starve one’s self to death. (iii. 119.)
