On the prohibition of readers and singers from marrying women of other faiths.
Since in some metropolitan regions readers and singers are allowed to marry, the Holy Council decided not to allow any of them to take a non-Orthodox wife. Those who have children from such a marriage, if they have already baptized them from heretics, must bring them into communion with the Catholic Church, and those who have not baptized children can no longer baptize them from heretics, nor marry them with a heretic, Jew or pagan, unless the person marrying the Orthodox promises to convert to the Orthodox faith. If anyone violates this definition of the Holy Council, let him be subject to penance according to the rules.
Greek original
Ἐπειδὴ ἔν τισιν ἐπαρχίαις συγκεχώρηται τοῖς ἀναγνώσταις, καὶ ψάλταις, γαμεῖν, ὥρισεν ἡ ἁγία σύνοδος, μὴ ἐξεῖναί τινι αὐτῶν ἑτερόδοξον γυναῖκα λαμβάνειν. Τοὺς δὲ ἤδη ἐκ τοιούτου γάμου παιδοποιήσαντας, εἰ μὲν ἔφθασαν βαπτίσαι τὰ ἐξ αὐτῶν τεχθέντα παρὰ τοῖς αἱρετικοῖς, προσάγειν αὐτὰ τῇ κοινωνίᾳ τῆς καθολικῆς ἐκκλησίας· μὴ βαπτίσαντας δέ, μὴ δύνασθαι ἔτι βαπτίζειν αὐτὰ παρὰ τοῖς αἱρετικοῖς, μήτε μὴν συνάπτειν πρὸς γάμον αἱρετικῷ, ἢ Ἰουδαίῳ, ἢ Ἕλληνι, εἰ μὴ ἄρα ἐπαγγέλλοιτο μετατίθεσθαι εἰς τὴν ὀρθόδοξον πίστιν τὸ συναπτόμενον πρόσωπον τῷ ὀρθοδόξῳ. Εἰ δέ τις τοῦτον τὸν ὅρον παραβαίη τῆς ἁγίας συνόδου, κανονικῷ ὑποκείσθω ἐπιτιμίῳ.
