I will visit the library this weekend to get his book and scan the relevant pages in for you.

From what I remember when I was reading it, Prof. Karlsson used multiple ancient witnesses, and also by simple arithmetic he demonstrated that the number of:

Metropolitans X
Bishops under Metropolitans X
Archdeacons/Priests under Bishops X
Number of families average per diocese/parish X
Average size of families by region in Asia

He came up with 80 million. That number is ONE QUARTER of the world's population at the time (13th century).

ONE QUARTER of the world's population....WITHOUT an army, WITHOUT a Constantine, WITHOUT sponsorship of any state or king....and, most importantly, WITHOUT forced conversions.

That's what scares you so, isn't it? This flies in the face of EVERYTHING the Western Church did to obtain converts.
