All the childish playthings and raving bacchic frenzies, the false writings composed against the venerable icons, must be delivered to the episcopal residence of Constantinople, so that they may be put away with the other heretical books. And if anyone is found hiding these: if he be a bishop, or a presbyter, or a deacon, let him be deposed; and if a layman or a monk, let him be excommunicated.
Πάντα τὰ μειρακιώδη ἀθύρματα, καὶ μανιώδη βακχεύματα, τὰ ψευδοσυγγράμματα, τὰ κατὰ τῶν σεπτῶν εἰκόνων γινόμενα δέον δοθῆναι τῷ ἐπισκόπῳ Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, ἵνα ἀποτεθῶσι μετὰ τῶν λοιπῶν αἱρετικῶν βιβλίων. Εἰ δέ τις εὑρεθείη ταῦτα κρύπτων· εἰ μὲν ἐπίσκοπος, ἢ πρεσβύτερος, ἢ διάκονος εἴη, καθαιρείσθω· εἰ δὲ λαϊκός, ἢ μοναχός, ἀφοριζέσθω.
