Psellos wrote a letter for the hegoumenos of Ta Narsou to take to (Nikolaos Skleros), the krites of Aegean Sea, asking him to help his monastery. Some monks had gone out to care for the estates, which were many but poor, and subject to varied attacks, so he should make his help as effective as possible. The hegoumenos, who liked repeating requests, had Psellos renew his appeal to Nikolaos to welcome him and aid the monastery's estates then and in the future. He would not just be helping Psellos [presumably the charistikarios] but the Theotokos and martyrs revered at Ta Narsou, potentially Nikolaos' fervent supporters
