Canon 82

About the prohibition for each bishop to leave the place that was assigned to him at the beginning for his permanent residence, and to be in any other place in the region entrusted to him.
It was desirable not to allow any bishop to leave his main see and move to any church located in his region, or, for a long time being more than properly occupied with personal affairs, to abandon diligent care of his see.
Greek original
Πάλιν ἤρεσεν, ὥστε μηδενὶ ἐξεῖναι ἐπισκόπῳ, καταλειφθείσης τῆς αὐθεντικῆς αὐτοῦ καθέδρας, πρός τινα ἐκκλησίαν ἐν διοικήσει καθεστῶσαν ἑαυτὸν ἀποφέρειν, ἢ ἐν οἰκείῳ πράγματι, ὑπὲρ ὃ χρὴ ἐπὶ πολὺ ἀπασχολουμένῳ, ἀμελεῖν τῆς φροντίδος καὶ τῆς συνεχείας τοῦ ἰδίου θρόνου.
