Canon 2

The same goes for deacons.
In the same way, it was decided that deacons who had made a sacrifice, but after that resumed the feat for the faith, were otherwise honored, but were excluded from any sacred service, offering of the Bread and Cup or proclamation. If some of the bishops become aware of their toil or meek humility and want to give or take away something more, let it be in their power.
Greek original
Διακόνους ὁμοίως θύσαντας, μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἀναπαλαίσαντας, τὴν μὲν ἄλλην τιμὴν ἔχειν, πεπαῦσθαι δὲ αὐτοὺς πάσης τῆς ἱερᾶς λειτουργίας, τῆς τε τοῦ ἄρτον ἢ ποτήριον ἀναφέρειν, ἢ κηρύσσειν. Εἰ μέντοι τινές τῶν ἐπισκόπων τούτοις συνίδοιεν κάματόν τινα, ἢ ταπείνωσιν πρᾳότητος, καὶ ἐθέλοιεν πλέον τι διδόναι, ἢ ἀφαιρεῖν, ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς εἶναι τὴν ἐξουσίαν.
