Psellos asked a krites to act to stop a friend suffering losses because others did not pay their taxes; he needed help

Summary:
Psellos asked a krites to help a friend of his to seek to recover losses due to others (or perhaps this was a repeat request?). His friend was not responsible if those who were asked for taxes broke the law by not giving up what was due to the treasury. The krites should give significant help, fulfilling a judge's main duty, to aid the wronged and punish the guilty
