About the power of the largest departments (Alexandrian, Roman, Antioch, etc.).
On the need for the consent of the metropolitan for the election of a bishop.
Let the ancient customs prevail in Egypt, Libya and Pentapolis, so that the bishop of Alexandria has authority over all of them, since this is the custom of the bishop of Rome. Likewise, in Antioch and in other areas, let the privileges of the Churches be preserved. In general, let it be known that if anyone becomes a bishop without the permission of the metropolitan, the great Council has determined that he should not be a bishop. If the common choice of all, thorough and in accordance with the rule of the Church, is contradicted by two or three out of their own quarrel, let the opinion of the majority prevail.
Greek original
Τὰ ἀρχαῖα ἔθη κρατείτω, τὰ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ Λιβύῃ καὶ Πενταπόλει, ὥστε τὸν ἐν Ἀλεξανδρείᾳ ἐπίσκοπον πάντων τούτων ἔχειν τὴν ἐξουσίαν· ἐπειδὴ καὶ τῷ ἐν Ῥώμῃ ἐπισκόπῳ τοῦτο σύνηθές ἐστιν. Ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ κατὰ τὴν Ἀντιόχειαν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἄλλαις ἐπαρχίαις, τὰ πρεσβεῖα σῴζεσθαι ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. Καθόλου δὲ πρόδηλον ἐκεῖνο· ὅτι, εἴ τις χωρὶς γνώμης τοῦ μητροπολίτου γένοιτο ἐπίσκοπος, τὸν τοιοῦτον ἡ μεγάλη σύνοδος ὥρισε μὴ δεῖν εἶναι ἐπίσκοπον. Ἐὰν μέντοι τῇ κοινῇ πάντων ψήφῳ, εὐλόγῳ οὔσῃ, καὶ κατὰ κανόνα ἐκκλησιαστικόν, δύο, ἢ τρεῖς δι᾿ οἰκείαν φιλονεικίαν ἀντιλέγωσι, κρατείτω ἡ τῶν πλειόνων ψῆφος.
