Canon 88
An order to Bishop Cresconius, who left his place and by force seized the vacant episcopal see in Tubun, to appear before the general council.
Concerning Cresconius of Villarecentia, it was decided by all: in the future, also to bring to the attention of the foremost bishop of Numidia that he should, by his message, persuade the said Cresconius to come so that he would appear at the next general African Council without delay. If he neglects this and does not come, let him know that a sentence will be pronounced against him.
Greek original
Περὶ Κρεσκωνίου τοῦ Βιλλαρεκεντισίου τοῦτο πᾶσιν ἔδοξεν, ἵνα ἐντεῦθεν ὁμοίως ἐμφανισθείη τῷ πρωτεύοντι τῆς Νουμιδίας, πρὸς τὸ εἰδέναι αὐτὸν ὀφείλειν γράμμασιν οἰκείοις πρὸς συνέλευσιν προτρέψασθαι τὸν μνημονευθέντα Κρεσκώνιον, ὥστε μὴ ὑπερθέασθαι τὴν παρουσίαν αὐτοῦ τῇ πλησιαζούσῃ συμπάςῃ Ἀφρικανῇ συνόδῳ παρασχεῖν· ἐὰν δὲ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν καταφρονήσῃ, ἔσται εἰδὼς κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ ψῆφον νομοθετηθησομένην.[1]
