Psellos sent a runaway notarios to a krites, but without brazen references; it was enough to be sent by Psellos

Summary:
The krites of Opsikion should concentrate carefully or block his ears to avoid shock, for Psellos had sent him a notarios, an ex-rebel (?). Even if he opened the door to him personally, he surely was unsurprised by such a visitor. Psellos could write brazen references - but not to the krites, whose devotion to friendship was complete. Only God could judge whether he or Psellos was more perfect. But to business: it was enough to say that the notarios was sent by Psellos
