We study the process e[superscript +] e-→π[superscript +]π[superscript -]π[superscript +] π[superscript -], with a photon emitted from the initial-state electron or positron, using 454.3 fb-1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at SLAC, corresponding to approximately 260 000 signal events. We use these data to extract the nonradiative σ(e[superscript +] e-→π[superscript +]π[superscript -]π[superscript +] π[superscript -]) cross section in the energy range from 0.6 to 4.5 GeV. The total uncertainty of the cross section measurement in the peak region is less than 3%, higher in precision than the corresponding results obtained from energy scan data.
