On the prohibition for clergy to be registered in two dioceses at the same time.
A cleric is not allowed to be registered in the churches of two cities at the same time: in the one to which he was originally ordained, and in the one to which he transferred out of a desire for vain glory, because this church is supposedly larger. And those who do this should be returned precisely to the church to which they were originally ordained, and only there should they serve. But if someone has already been transferred from one church to another, then he should not receive any part of the property of the previous church, that is, from the martyrdom churches, or almshouses, or hospice houses dependent on it. And those who, after the determination of this great Ecumenical Council, dared to do anything that is now prohibited, the Holy Council determined to depose them from their degree.
Greek original
Μὴ ἐξεῖναι κληρικὸν ἐν δύο πόλεων κατὰ ταὐτὸν καταλέγεσθαι ἐκκλησίαις, ἐν ᾗ τε τὴν ἀρχὴν ἐχειροτονήθη, καὶ ἐν ᾗ προσέφυγεν, ὡς μείζονι δῆθεν, διὰ δόξης κενῆς ἐπιθυμίαν. Τοὺς δέ γε τοῦτο ποιοῦντας ἀποκαθίστασθαι τῇ ἰδίᾳ ἐκκλησίᾳ, ἐν ᾗ ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἐχειροτονήθησαν, καὶ ἐκεῖ μόνον λειτουργεῖν. Εἰ μέν τοι ἤδη τις μετετέθη ἐξ ἄλλης εἰς ἄλλην ἐκκλησίαν, μηδὲν τοῖς τῆς προτέρας ἐκκλησίας, ἤτοι τῶν ὑπ᾿ αὐτὴν μαρτυρίων, ἢ πτωχείων, ἢ ξενοδοχείων ἐπικοινωνεῖν πράγμασι. Τοὺς δέ γε τολμῶντας, μετὰ τὸν ὅρον τῆς μεγάλης καὶ οἰκουμενικῆς ταύτης συνόδου, πράττειν τι τῶν νῦν ἀπηγορευμένων, ὥρισεν ἡ ἁγία σύνοδος ἐκπίπτειν τοῦ ἰδίου βαθμοῦ.
