Canon 14
On the need for clergy who abstain from eating meat to taste it during meetings. Anyone who disobeys this and abhors meat should be cast out of his dignity.
Regarding presbyters or deacons who are in the clergy, even if they abstain from meat, it is decided that they should eat a little of it and then, if they want, abstain from it; if they do not want to do this, so much so that they do not even eat vegetables served with meat, and do not obey this rule, they should be deprived of their dignity.
Greek original
Τοὺς ἐν κλήρῳ πρεσβυτέρους ἢ διακόνους ὄντας, ἀπεχομένους κρεῶν, ἔδοξεν ἐφάπτεσθαι, καὶ οὕτως, εἰ βούλοιντο, κρατεῖν ἑαυτῶν· εἰ δὲ μὴ βούλοιντο, ὡς μηδὲ τὰ μετὰ κρεῶν βαλλόμενα λάχανα ἐσθίειν, καὶ εἰ μὴ ὑπείκοιεν τῷ κανόνι, πεπαῦσθαι αὐτοὺς τῆς τάξεως.
