Οἱ κληρικοὶ τῶν πτωχείων καὶ μοναστηρίων καὶ μαρτυρίων ὑπὸ τὴν ἐξουσίαν τῶν ἐν ἑκάστῃ πόλει ἐπισκόπων, κατὰ τὴν τῶν ἁγίων πατέρων παράδοσιν, διαμενέτωσαν, καὶ μὴ κατὰ αὐθάδειαν ἀφηνιάτωσαν τοῦ ἰδίου ἐπισκόπου. Οἱ δὲ τολμῶντες ἀνατρέπειν τὴν τοιαύτην διατύπωσιν καθ᾽ οἱονδήποτε τρόπον, καὶ μὴ ὑποταττόμενοι τῷ ἰδίῳ ἐπισκόπῳ, εἰ μὲν εἶεν κληρικοὶ, τοῖς τῶν κανόνων ὑποκείσθωσαν ἐπιτιμίοις, εἰ δὲ μονάζοντες ἢ λαϊκοὶ, ἔστωσαν ἀκοινώνητοι. |

Clerici ptochiorum, monasteriorum et martyriorum, sub potestate episcoporum, qui sunt in unaquaque civitate, secundum sanctorum Patrum traditionem permaneant, nec per praesumptionem a suo episcopo recedant. Qui vero audent ejusmodi constitutionem quocunque modo evertere, nec suo episcopo subjiciuntur, si quidem clerici fuerint, canonicis poenis subjiciantur: si autem monachi aut laici, communione priventur. |
