Canon 96

On the privilege of the Bishop of Carthage to draw up on behalf of all and sign every charter sent from the general African Council.
All the bishops proclaimed: if it is desired to draw up any documents at the Council, then let the venerable bishop who occupies this primacy see draw up and sign them on behalf of all.
Greek original
Ἀπὸ συμπάντων τῶν ἐπισκόπων ἐλέχθη, ἵνα, ἐὰν ἤρεσέ τινα γράμματα ὀφείλειν ὑπαγορευθῆναι ἐν τῇ συνόδῳ, ὁ προσκυνητὸς ἐπίσκοπος ὁ ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ τούτῳ προκαθήμενος καταξιοῖ ἐπ᾽ ὀνόματι πάντων ὑπαγορεύειν καὶ ὑπογράφειν. Ἐν οἷς ἤρεσεν ἔτι μὴν τοῖς τοποτηρηταῖς ἐπισκόποις, τοῖς ὀφείλουσιν ἀποσταλῆναι εἰς τὰς τῆς Ἀφρικῆς ἐπαρχίας, ἕνεκεν τῶν Δονατιστῶν, γράμματα δοθῆναι, δύναμιν ἐντολικοῦ περιέχοντα, ἣν δύναμιν μὴ παρεξέλθωσι. Καὶ ὑπέγραψαν. Αὐρήλιος ἐπίσκοπος τῆς Καρχηδονίων ἐκκλησίας, τῷ παρόντι ψηφίσματι συνῄνεσα, καὶ ἀναγνωσθέντι ὑπέγραψα. Ὁμοίως καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ ἐπίσκοποι ὑπέγραψαν.[1]
