Canon 4

On the invalidity of the consecration of Bishop. Maximus Kinik to the See of Constantinople.
About Maximus the Cynic and the outrage that happened because of him in Constantinople: neither Maximus was a bishop and is not a bishop, nor those ordained by him to any degree of clergy were clerics and are not clerics; everything in connection with him and everything he did was declared invalid.
Greek original
Περὶ Μαξίμου τοῦ Κυνικοῦ, καὶ τῆς κατ᾿ αὐτὸν ἀταξίας τῆς ἐν Κωνσταντινουπόλει γενομένης· ὥστε μήτε Μάξιμον ἐπίσκοπον ἢ γενέσθαι, ἢ εἶναι, μήτε τοὺς παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ χειροτονηθέντας, ἐν οἱῳδήποτε βαθμῷ κλήρου· πάντων καὶ τῶν περὶ αὐτόν, καὶ τῶν παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ γενομένων ἀκυρωθέντων.
