Psellos wrote to a magistros & krites, a relative, whose wife might have died but for Psellos

Summary:
Psellos, who helped everyone, was of course specially kind to a magistros and krites, a good friend now become a family member. His wife the magistrissa had been ill with pains in her side and hurt by rumours over her husband, and but for Psellos she might have died. Psellos advised the magistros as krites neither to involve himself too much in trials, nor to ignore petitioners, and offered the emperor's ear, but with no promises over promotion. This would probably be timed for all the kritai together
