Canon 22

About the eruption of clergy who plundered the property of a deceased bishop.
After the death of their bishop, clergy are not allowed to steal things that belonged to him, just as this is prohibited by ancient rules. Those who do this risk losing their degree.
Greek original
Μὴ ἐξεῖναι κληρικοῖς μετὰ θάνατον τοῦ ἰδίου ἐπισκόπου, διαρπάζειν τὰ διαφέροντα αὐτῷ πράγματα, καθὼς καὶ τοῖς παραλαμβάνουσιν ἀπηγόρευται· ἢ τοὺς τοῦτο ποιοῦντας, κινδυνεύειν περὶ τοὺς ἰδίους βαθμούς.
