Ancient Epitome of Canon LXXVII. A Christian man shall not bathe with women. Should a cleric do so he is to be deposed, and a layman cut off. This is a renewal of the XXXth canon of Laodicea. It will be noted, as Zonaras remarks, that the monks must be counted among the laymen who are to be cut off, since they have no clerical character or tonsure.
