Certainty: 2 Psellos forgave the envy of Konstantinos, nephew of Keroularios, whom he had now overtaken in dignity
Psellos received a promotion [to kouropalates from Nikephoros III?] and Konstantinos, nephew of Keroularios, reacted jealously but soon apologised, having stumbled in friendship, like Atlas. Konstantinos, who had started with a higher dignity than Psellos, now, as protoproedros, had been overtaken. Psellos accepted the apology with a eulogy. The rest of the letter alternates between equality and generous condescension (sun to moon, Psellos to Konstantinos). He is generous in praise of Konstantinos as his possible superior, but implies omniscience to guarantee his praise. [Later that year the balance was restored: Psellos addresses Konstantinos as sebastos]
