Canon VII.134
| 134
Concerning those who have been enrolled among the barbarians, and who
have dared to do certain monstrous things against those of the same
race with themselves. |
Now, as regards those who have been enrolled among
the barbarians, and have accompanied them in their irruption in a state
of captivity, and who, forgetting that they were from Pontus, and
Christians, have become such thorough barbarians, as even to put those
of their own race to death by the gibbet135
or strangulation, and to show their roads
or
houses to the
barbarians, who else would have been ignorant of them,
it is necessary for you to debar such persons even from being auditors
in the
public congregations,
136
until some common decision about them is come to by the saints
assembled in council, and by the Holy Spirit antecedently to
them.
