The Apostolic Canons · compiled in Syria in the later fourth century · The Apostolic Canons on the map
If any cleric mocks one who is lame, or deaf, or blind, or crippled in the feet, let him be excommunicated. Likewise also a layman.
Εἴ τις κληρικὸς χωλόν, ἢ κωφόν, ἢ τυφλόν, ἢ τὰς βάσεις πεπληγμένον χλευάσοι, ἀφοριζέσθω. Ὡσαύτως καὶ λαϊκός.
