Canon 4
About a 6-year penance for those who sacrificed to idols under duress, but did it joyfully and carelessly.
About those who made a sacrifice under compulsion and, moreover, feasted in front of idols: if, when they were brought, they entered with a joyful look, and put on more expensive clothes, and indifferently partook of the prepared meal, it was decided that such people should listen for 1 year, fall for 3 years, participate only in prayer for 2 years, and then begin perfect communication.
Greek original
Περὶ τῶν πρὸς βίαν θυσάντων, ἐπὶ δὲ τούτοις καὶ τῶν δειπνησάντων εἰς τὰ εἴδωλα, ὅσοι μὲν ἀπαγόμενοι, καὶ σχήματι φαιδροτέρῳ ἀνῆλθον, καὶ ἐσθῆτι ἐχρήσαντο πολυτελεστέρα, καὶ μετέσχον τοῦ παρασκευασθέντος δείπνου ἀδιαφόρως, ἔδοξεν, ἐνιαυτὸν ἀκροᾶσθαι, ὑποπεσεῖν δὲ τρία ἔτη, εὐχῆς δὲ μόνης κοινωνῆσαι ἔτη δύο, καὶ τότε ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ τὸ τέλειον.
