Κανόνες τῆς ἐν Τρούλλῳ Ἁγίας καὶ Οἰκουμενικῆς Πενθέκτης Συνόδου

The Council in Trullo · Constantinople, 691 to 692 · convened by the emperor Justinian II · The Quinisext Council (Trullo, 692) on the map

Those who are ordained for money, whether bishops or clerics of any kind whatever, and not according to examination and choice of life, we command to be deposed; and also those who ordained them.

Τοὺς ἐπὶ χρήμασι χειροτονουμένους, εἴτε ἐπισκόπους, ἢ οἱουσδήποτε κληρικούς, καὶ οὐ κατὰ δοκιμασίαν, καὶ τοῦ βίου αἵρεσιν, καθαιρεῖσθαι προστάσσομεν· ἀλλὰ καὶ τοὺς χειροτονήσαντας.
