Letter of Pesynthios about personal guarantees given before the bishop and defensor TM 39107unbekannt

[…] […] nevertheless with your (?) again […] whether through him or through another, the common master, the most glorious topoteretes, but he wished it continually. He received letters and wrote nothing improper, but as he wrote to me, that I should take personal guarantees, so that he may be found at the time of the public taxes, and when I find him in person, I find again also the public taxes, not only he himself but also his wife. Having therefore received such letters, I proposed to him in the presence of the most holy bishop and the most learned defensor and the lord Basileios that he should give personal guarantees and go away wherever he wishes. As to what you ordered me, that I should meet with them either about the hospices or about each matter, he has not consented to give me an answer until today. For you know that if you ordered me anything I do not hesitate; indeed I also undertook to do it, and if you wish to write to me again a signed letter stating that, if they are sought at the time of the public taxes, I am to find him and his wife here, I am ready to do this as is my duty. And so that my master may know, I have reported faithfully. I greet you, God-protected and most magnificent, and our common brother, the lord Ioannes, master. †
