Time evolution of inclination for 20   MEarth planets with individual starting inclinations ranging from i = 1.0° to i = 4.0° in a fully radiative disc. The damping of inclination follows the trend of change of inclination for planets on fixed orbits, see Fig. 1. The black dotted lines indicate our manual fitting with τinc = 26.5 for planets with i0 = 2.0°, 4.0°, 6.0° and i0 = 8.0°, which seems very good in the beginning/middle phase of the inclination damping. In the i0 = 8.0° case an additional fit provides for a di/dt ∝ i-2 fit in the beginning of the evolution.
