Greek
(γ) Περὶ τοῦ πῶς καὶ πότε δεῖ χειροτονεῖν καὶ τίνα δεῖ ἐξετάζειν. Ἐπειδὴ τοίνυν πρὸς οἰκοδομήν, ὡς ἔφην, τῶν λαῶν πάντα χρὴ πράττεσθαι παρ' ἡμῶν, ἐπιτηρείτω ταῦτα ἡ θεοσέβεια ὑμῶν· καὶ εἰ μέλλοι τις χειροτονεῖσθαι κληρικός, περιεργαζέσθω τὸν βίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ πότερόν ποτε γαμετὴν ἔχει ἢ οὔ, καὶ πῶς ἢ πότε ἠγάγετο, καὶ εἰ ἀπέσχετο· καὶ εἰ μή τίς ἐστι τῶν ἐκβεβλημένων ἢ παρ' ἑτέρου θεοσεβεστάτου ἐπισκόπου ἢ ἐκ μοναστηρίων· καὶ τότε χειροτονείτω, ἀδιάβλητον εὑρεθέντα.
