Canon 7
On the metropolitan dignity of Bishop Elia (Jerusalem).
Since the custom and ancient tradition of honoring Bishop Elia have been established, let him have the honor of maintaining his own dignity for the metropolis.
Greek original
Ἐπειδὴ συνήθεια κεκράτηκε, καὶ παράδοσις ἀρχαία, ὥστε τὸν ἐν Αἰλίᾳ ἐπίσκοπον τιμᾶσθαι, ἐχέτω τὴν ἀκολουθίαν τῆς τιμῆς· τῇ μητροπόλει σῳζομένου τοῦ οἰκείου ἀξιώματος.
