The Apostolic Canons · compiled in Syria in the later fourth century · The Apostolic Canons on the map

If any bishop, or presbyter, or deacon, or anyone at all of the list of clerics, fasts with Jews, or keeps feast with them, or receives from them the gifts of the feast, such as unleavened bread or anything of the kind, let him be deposed; and if he is a layman, let him be excommunicated.

Εἴ τις ἐπίσκοπος, ἢ πρεσβύτερος, ἢ διάκονος, ἢ ὅλως τοῦ καταλόγου τῶν κληρικῶν, νηστεύοι μετὰ Ἰουδαίων, ἢ ἑορτάζοι μετ᾿ αὐτῶν, ἢ δέχοιτο παρ᾿ αὐτῶν τὰ τῆς ἑορτῆς ξένια, οἷον ἄζυμα ἤ τι τοιοῦτον, καθαιρείσθω· εἰ δὲ λαϊκὸς εἴη, ἀφοριζέσθω.
