Правило 10 (11) Григория Неокесарийского

Those who fulfill this commandment must fulfill it without any filthiness, without demanding retribution for themselves either for pointing out a thing, or for preserving it, or for acquiring it, or whatever the pretext for this is called. (Gregory Neokes. 4, 5; Gregory of Nyssk. 6). This rule prescribes that the one who finds any thing should not demand some kind of reward for declaring and returning it, because in this case he would prove that he is a “filthy acquisitive,” but must do it of his own free will and on the basis of the requirements of Christian morality. However, this only concerns the case about which the rules of St. speak. Gregory of Neocaesarea; if someone finds a thing that the owner accidentally or through negligence lost, then there will be no “foul acquisitiveness” if the one who found the thing and handed it over to its rightful owner demands a reward.
