The metropolitan of Madytos must visit Konstantinos X or send holy Madytos oil; he persuaded Psellos to favour his basilikos

Summary:
Psellos wrote to the metropolitan of Madytos about his petition, with a note on the basilikos of Madytos. He admitted he had not completed his role, while the metropolitan had finished his part. Now Konstantinos X wanted a visit from him. If he came, he would gain his request; if not, he should tell Psellos, then petition the emperor with holy oil from his local saint. The metropolitan had mentioned the basilikos in his letter. Psellos had been reluctantly swayed by the metropolitan into limited support of him, by strict justice
