Canon 23 Clergy and monks loitering in Constantinople are expelled

It has come to the hearing of the holy synod that certain clerics and monks, having been entrusted with nothing by their own bishop, and sometimes even having been put out of communion by him, betake themselves to the reigning city of Constantinople and stay in it for a long time, causing disturbances and troubling the ecclesiastical state, and they overturn the houses of some. The holy synod has therefore decreed that such persons first be reminded, through the advocate of the most holy church of Constantinople, to go out of the reigning city; and if they persist shamelessly in the same doings, that they be expelled even against their will through the same advocate, and return to their own places.
