The father-in-law of Theodoros Dokeianos died near the end of Isaakios I's Danube expedition (at Lobitzos?)

Summary:
Psellos wrote to console Theodoros Dokeianos on the death of his father-in-law, a blow to his mother-in-law, his wife and Theodoros himself. It occurred towards the end of Isaakios I’s Danube campaign, perhaps at Lobitzos. Psellos urged that Theodoros' devotion to Isaakios I should not slacken. He was told to console his weeping womenfolk, following the empress Aikaterine and the sebaste, who had broken the bad news to them. Theodoros had reported to Psellos on Isaakios' positive attitude to him. Psellos had been encouraged to send the emperor treats from the City by his usual monk. Later he stopped, in case Isaakios thought him a flatterer. [The sebaste was either Isaakios' daughter Maria with an unattested title or Konstantinos IX's Alan mistress]
