Psellos recommended two men: a relative, whom he told to work hard, & a subordinate with potential

Summary:
Good health to the krites of Drougoubiteia for profit from his job and thoughts of Psellos! A relative of Psellos was paid in the capital and went to serve the krites. Psellos told his relative to work to win favour, and the krites to get a good name rather than wealth. He also recommended to him another man, potentially an excellent subordinate, with confidence in Psellos and the krites. The krites should write, and whatever tone he chose would be used by Psellos in reply; he need not fear an overbearing response
