Canon 50

On the prohibition of gambling for laity and clergy.
From now on, no one at all, be it a layman or a clergyman, plays dice, but if anyone is caught doing so, then if he is a cleric, he will be deposed, and if he is a layman, he will be excommunicated.
Greek original
Μηδένα τῶν ἁπάντων εἴτε λαϊκῶν, εἴτε κληρικῶν, κυβεύειν, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν· εἰ δέ τις τοιοῦτο φωραθείη πράττων, εἰ μὲν κληρικὸς εἴη, καθαιρείσθω· εἰ δὲ λαϊκός, ἀφοριζέσθω.
