On the subordination of bishops.
It is fitting for the bishops of each nation to know the first among them, and recognize him as the head, and not do anything beyond their authority without his permission; It is appropriate for everyone to do only what concerns his area and the places subordinate to it. But even the first one does not do anything without the consent of everyone. For in this way there will be one mind and God will be glorified through the Lord in the Holy Spirit, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Greek original
Τοὺς ἐπισκόπους ἑκάστου ἔθνους εἰδέναι χρή τὸν ἐν αὐτοῖς πρῶτον, καὶ ἠγεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ὡς κεφαλήν, καὶ μηδὲν τι πράττειν ἄνευ τῆς ἐκείνου γνώμης· ἐκεῖνα δὲ μόνα πράττειν ἕκαοτον, ὅσα τῇ αὐτοῦ παροικίᾳ ἐπιβάλλει, καὶ ταῖς ὑπ᾿ αὐτὴν χώραις. Ἀλλὰ μηδὲ ἐκεῖνος ἄνευ τῆς πάντων γνώμης ποιείτω τι. Οὕτω γὰρ ὁμόνοια ἔσται, καὶ δοξασθήσεται ὁ θεός, διὰ Κυρίου, ἐν ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι· ὁ Πατήρ, καὶ ὁ Υἱός, καὶ τὸ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα.
