Psellos wrote to Georgios the aktouarios about improving his unproductive monasteries

Summary:
Objects annoyed him (said Psellos), unless they let him write to Georgios the aktouarios. Most started as matter and became objects, but estates started as objects and dissolved into horses and elephants (?). To upgrade them, he asked Georgios to help his servant (his "usual monk"?)
