Правило 2
On the condemnation of simony (ordination for bribery).
If any bishop performs ordination for money, reduces unsellable grace to an object for sale and for money ordains a bishop, or a chorebishop, or a presbyter, or a deacon, or anyone else from the clergy, or, because of his greed, for money, ordains an ekonom, or an ecdyk, or a paramonari, or in general to any church rank, then anyone who attempts for this, after conviction, let him be subject to deprivation of his degree, and let the one ordained by him not use the purchased ordination or production at all, but let him be alien to the dignity or position that he received for money. And if anyone is simply a mediator in such vile and lawless profit, then such a one, if he is a cleric, will be deposed from his degree, and if he is a layman or monastic, he will be anathematized.
Greek original
Εἴ τις ἐπίσκοπος, ἐπὶ χρήμασι χειροτονίαν ποιήσαιτο, καὶ εἰς πρᾶσιν καταγάγοι τὴν ἄπρατον χάριν, καὶ χειροτονήσοι ἐπὶ χρήμασιν ἐπίσκοπον, ἢ χωρεπίσκοπον, ἢ πρεσβυτέρους, ἢ διακόνους, ἢ ἕτερόν τινα τῶν ἐν τῷ κλήρῳ κατηριθμημένων, ἢ προβάλλοιτο ἐπὶ χρήμασιν οἰκονόμον, ἢ ἔκδικον, ἢ παραμονάριον, ἢ ὅλως τινὰ τοῦ κανόνος, δι᾿ αἰσχροκέρδειαν οἰκείαν, ὁ τοῦτο ἐπιχειρήσας, ἐλεγχθείς, κινδυνευέτω περὶ τὸν οἰκεῖον βαθμόν· καὶ ὁ χειροτονούμενος, μηδὲν ἐκ τῆς κατ᾿ ἐμπορίαν ὠφελείσθω χειροτονίας, ἢ προβολῆς· ἀλλ᾿ ἔστω ἀλλότριος τῆς ἀξίας, ἢ τοῦ φροντίσματος, οὗπερ ἐπὶ χρήμασιν ἔτυχεν. Εἰ δέ τις καὶ μεσιτεύων φανείη τοῖς οὕτως αἰσχροῖς καὶ ἀθεμίτοις λήμμασι, καὶ οὗτος, εἰ μὲν κληρικὸς εἴη, τοῦ οἰκείου ἐκπιπτέτω βαθμοῦ· εἰ δὲ λαϊκός, ἢ μονάζων, ἀναθεματιζέσθω.
