Κληρικοὺς ἢ λαϊκοὺς κατηγοροῦντας ἐπισκόπων ἢ κληρικῶν, ἁπλῶς καὶ ἀδοκιμάστως μὴ προσδέχεσθαι εἰς κατηγορίαν, εἰ μὴ πρότερον ἐξετασθῃ αὐτῶν ἡ ὑπόληψις. |

Τὰ ἅπαξ καθιερωθέντα μοναστήρια κατὰ γνώμην ἐπισκόπου μένειν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς μοναστήρια, καὶ τὰ προσήκοντα αὐτοῖς πράγματα φυλάττεσθαι τῷ μοναστηρίῳ, καὶ μηκέτι δύνασθαι γίνεσθαι ταῦτα κοσμικὰ καταγώγια· τοὺς δὲ συγχωροῦντας τοῦτο γίνεσθαι, ὑποκεῖσθαι τοῖς ἐκ τῶν κανόνων ἐπιτιμίοις. |

Quae semel consecrata fuerint monasteria, cum sententia episcopi, perpetuo manere monasteria, et res, quae ad ea pertinent servari, eaque non amplius posse fieri saecularia habitacula. Eos autem, qui hoc fieri permittunt, canonicis poenis subjici. |

Ἐπειδὴ οἱ εὐλαβέστατοι ἐπίσκοποι τῆς Αἰγύπτου, οὐχ ὡς μαχόμενοι τῇ καθολικῇ πίστει, ὑπογράψαι τῇ ἐπιστολῇ τοῦ ὁσιωτάτου ἀρχιεπισκόπου Λέοντος ἐπὶ τοῦ παρόντος ἀνεβαλλοντο, ἀλλὰ φάσκοντες ἔθος εἶναι ἐν τῇ Αἰγυπτιακῇ διοικήσει παρὰ γνώμην καὶ διατύπωσιν τοῦ ἀρχιεπισκόπου μηδὲν τοιοῦτο ποιεῖν, καὶ ἀξιοῦσιν ἐνδοθῆναι αὐτοῖς ἄχρι τῆς χειροτονίας τοῦ ἐσομένου τῆς Αλεξανδρέων μεγαλοπόλεως ἐπισκόπου· εὔλογον ἡμιν ἐφάνη καὶ φιλάνθρωπον, ὥστε αὐτοῖς, μένουσιν ἐπι τοῦ οἰκείου σχηματος ἐν τῇ βασιλευούσῃ πόλει, ἔνδουσιν παρασχεθῆναι, ἄχρις ἂν χειροτονηθῇ ὁ ἀρχιεπίσκοπος τῆς Ἀλεξανδρέων μεγαλοπόλεως. |
