In a recent paper (6) the present author has shown that, for an element a of a Banach algebra A, the condition

for all xA and some constant α is equivalent to [x, a]∈Rad a for all xA; it turns out that α may be replaced by |α|σ It is the purpose of the present note to investigate a related condition
