Ioannes Mauropous bought a monastery for a relation; Ioannes via Psellos told the responsible krites that it had grown since purchase

Summary:
He was asked by the krites to pass on requests received, to be fulfilled at once. Ioannes Mauropous wanted help over assessment of the Python monastery, bought for a relative of his. The krites should remember Python's estates had grown in number and quality since purchase. If he did, Mauropous would probably make no loss, but appearance was against him. The krites must judge strictly to win gratitude and God's approval
