Pothos was asked to resolve a dispute between two villages, & do all he could to prevent a recurrence

Summary:
Psellos told Pothos, son of the droungarios, that leaders of Atzikome and Thyrides, neighbouring villages in Opsikion, came to the capital for arbitration over a land dispute. As the emperor was busy, they approached Psellos, who had an interest there. He passed the problem to Pothos, who might solve it himself or perhaps find a local expert to make a just ruling. Pothos in the report should do all he could to stop the quarrel recurring
