A woman with a rural problem was sent to explain it to a krites, Psellos' friend, as she would do so better than Psellos

Summary:
Psellos claimed that he often wrote on simple events and persons, like the ancients. The rural woman who brought the letter to the krites, had a problem which Psellos left imprecise, as she could narrate it better than he could and have it examined. Psellos was sure his friend would help
