On penance for clergy who left their place of service without permission.
If a presbyter, or a deacon, or in general anyone from the sacred order, leaving his episcopal region (παροικίαν), moves to another, and then, having completely moved, attempts to stay in another episcopal region for a long time, then such a person is no longer allowed to serve, especially if he does not obey his own bishop, who calls him and convinces him to return to his episcopal region. If he persists in outrage, he must be finally removed from service without the possibility of restoration. If another bishop accepts the deposed one for this reason, then the general Council will subject him to penance as a violator of church decrees.
Greek original
Εἴ τις πρεσβύτερος, ἢ διάκονος, ἢ ὅλως τῶν τοῦ ἱερατείου τις, καταλιπὼν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ παροικίαν, εἰς ἑτέραν ἀπέλθοι, ἔπειτα παντελῶς μεταστάς, διατρίβειν ἐν ἄλλῃ παροικίᾳ πειρᾶται ἐπὶ πολλῷ χρόνῳ, μηκέτι λειτουργεῖν, εἰ μάλιστα καλοῦντι τῷ ἐπισκόπῳ τῷ ἰδίῳ, καὶ ἐπανελθεῖν εἰς τὴν παροικίαν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ παραινοῦντι, μὴ ὑπακούοι. Εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐπιμένοι τῇ ἀταξίᾳ, παντελῶς αὐτὸν καθαιρεῖσθαι τῆς λειτουργίας, ὡς μηκέτι χώραν ἔχειν ἀποκαταστάσεως. Εἰ δὲ καθαιρεθέντα διὰ ταύτην τὴν αἰτίαν δέχοιτο ἕτερος ἐπίσκοπος, κἀκεῖνον ἐπιτιμίας τυγχάνειν ὑπὸ κοινῆς συνόδου, ὡς παραλύοντα τοὺς θεσμοὺς τοὺς ἐκκλησιαστικούς.
