Canon 74

About the prohibition in the temple to perform agapes, eat food, and make a bed.
There should not be so-called agapes in the houses of the Lord, or in churches: eating in the temple and setting up table beds. Those who dare to do this should either stop or be excommunicated.
Greek original
Ὅτι οὐ δεῖ ἐν τοῖς Κυριακοῖς, ἢ ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις, τὰς λεγομένας ἀγάπας ποιεῖν, καὶ ἔνδον ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ἐσθίειν, καὶ ἀκούβιτα στρωννύειν. Οἱ δὲ τοῦτο ποιεῖν τολμῶντες, ἢ παυσάσθωσαν, ἢ ἀφοριζέσθωσαν.
