Application made (ironically?) to Konstantinos X to transfer Psellos' property of Medikion to Anastasios Lizix

Summary:
Psellos asked Konstantinos X to transfer Medikion to Anastasios Lizix. He could not bear the emperor's generosity, and asked him to spare Psellos by transferring Medikion to his beloved Anastasios, to show him that burdens laid on them by the emperor could be lucrative rather than loss-making. [Probably ironic: Psellos elsewhere is very negative about Medikion and its potential for profit, and although Lizix fell ill around this time, this hardly seems a valuable present to him]
