Psellos' protegé was well treated by the kourator of Cyprus; but why did latter stay in Cyprus, with hot weather & low profits?

Summary:
From the kourator of Cyprus' letter Psellos pictured him better than a painting, as if speaking face to face. Psellos rejoiced that his protegé, for whom he asked a favour, got more in Cyprus than he requested, agreed he had asked too little, yet justified his caution. He showed the kourator's letter to a friend, who wept at its goodness. But the kourator's words still needed action: why stay in Cyprus, far from home and emperor, where summer was hot and profits low? He must return
