"Isidore set down distinctive terms and criteria for divine affairs with regard to the differentiation from human [affairs]: above all the efficacy of industriousness, and of a keen intellect’s judgment in avoiding public and habitual conformity with the multitude, and of love itself, excited for the enjoyment of intellectual beauty, and nowhere otherwise distracted."[2]

[2] Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. 74 Zintzen (32 Asmus, 34B Athanassiadi); cf. tau 245 (end). [In her critical apparatus, Adler notes that ms S (and also mss AF s.v. tekmh/rion, tau 245, where this quotation reappears) reads a)fwrisme/nwn, and thus of those distinguished divine things; also that here the text follows ms A with stoi/xwn (of rows in a series, courses, grades, levels), whereas the repeated quotation at tau 245, s.v. tekmh/rion, more fluidly reads stoixei/wn, and thus of human elements; and that mss GSM read ou)damh= instead of ou)damou=.]
