Summary:
Psellos and the people of Atzikome had made an agreement: they would be his villagers, and he would lobby the krites of Opsikion for them, as in this letter. They did not know the praitor. Judicial protection was the krites' job, but friendship too was important: he must be both a true friend and a just judge
