Psellos wrote to Romanos IV, in despair at his long absence, listing all of his virtues of which he felt deprived

Summary:
Psellos wrote to Romanos IV in despair at the emperor's long absence, begging him to return. Psellos was out of favour, so his depression was even greater than that of other citizens. Psellos sorely missed Romanos, and wrote listing all his virtues of every kind of which he felt deprived. He also hoped that Romanos was mixing his business with pleasure (hunting). Even Eudokia was invisible [perhaps pregnant?], completing Psellos' loneliness and despair
