Canon 34

About anathema to those who consciously venerate heretical false martyrs.
That no Christian should abandon the martyrs of Christ and resort to false martyrs, that is, martyrs who are revered by heretics or who have been declared heretics because they are alien to God. And let those who turn to them be anathema.
Greek original
Ὅτι οὐ δεῖ πάντα Χριοτιανὸν ἐγκαταλείπειν μάρτυρας Χριστοῦ, καὶ ἀπιέναι πρὸς τοὺς ψευδομάρτυρας, τουτέστιν αἱρετικῶν, ἢ αὐτοὺς πρὸς τοὺς προειρημένους αἱρετικοὺς γενομένους· οὗτοι γὰρ ἀλλότριοι τοῦ Θεοῦ τυγχάνουσιν. Ἔστωσαν οὖν ἀνάθεμα οἱ ἀπερχόμενοι πρὸς αὐτούς.
