Psellos wrote Oratio Panegyrica 5 for Konstantinos IX

Summary:
Psellos wrote an encomium for Konstantinos IX with conventional praise shading into clear but brief allusions to specific events, leaving a more complete treatment to other writers. There are references to victories over Georgios Maniakes (1043), Leon Tornikios (1047), the Russians (1043) and the Pechenegs (1047), to the organisation of Armenia (1045) and the voluntary subjection of the Arabs. The perfect harmony of Konstantinos' common rule with Zoe increased imperial lustre and benefits conferred on their subjects. Psellos included reference to Konstantinos' generosity to himself
