*ta/ttousa: e)n ta/cei tiqei=sa. *dama/skios: h( de\ o(/sa pa/qh th=s yuxh=s ta/ttousa tau=ta kai\ diakosmou=sa. peri\ kosmio/thtos kai\ swfrosu/nhs o( lo/gos.
Notes:
[1] The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is the feminine nominative singular (agreeing with the noun swfrosu/nh) of this present participle.
[2] Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. 61 Zintzen (22 Asmus). The complete passage reads thus: "Decorum and moderation are not only relief and removal of the corresponding evils -– lack of decorum and of moderation –- but also active and voluntary lives. And while the former converts what is worst in us into what is best, the latter [sc. is concerned with] ordering and arranging all passionate states of the soul." See also kappa 2145.
