王定保、倪曙、劉浚、李衡、周傑、楊洞潛、趙光裔之徒，隱皆招禮之。 Wang Dingbao, Ni Shu, Liu Jun, Li Heng, Zhou Jie, Yang Dongqian, Zhao Guangyi, and others — Yin sought them out and treated them with honor.

傑善星歷，唐司農少卿，因避亂往，隱數問以災變，傑恥以星術事人，常稱疾不起，隱亦客之。 Jie was skilled in astronomy and calendrics and had been a Tang Vice Minister of Agriculture; he too had fled the chaos. Yin often asked him about omens and calamities, but Jie was ashamed to serve a patron with star lore and usually pleaded illness and would not attend. Yin still treated him as an honored guest.
