Правило 9 (10) Григория Неокесарийского

Those who have found anything left by the barbarians in the field or in their houses, if they are accused, let them be among those who fall. If they declare themselves and give away what they have found, then may they be worthy of prayer. (Basily Vel. 61; Gregory Neokes. 2, 5, 8; Gregory of Nyssk. 6). And in this, as in the 4th and 5th rules, we are talking about things found and appropriated by someone, and if he does not return them according to their ownership and does not admit to their appropriation, but is appealed to the court for this and incriminated, then, as punishment, he must remain with those who fall; if he declares about the found thing and returns it, then he is not guilty, although the rule also says that he should only be in communion in prayer, and cannot be awarded St. participles. The punishment, it seems, is not justified, which is why Balsamon, in interpreting this rule, notes that this is something new, for he is rather worthy of gratitude for preserving the property of the prisoner and returning it.
