Правило 35
On the inviolability, after the death of a bishop, of the property of the episcopal see on the part of the ruling metropolitan.
Let none of the metropolitans, after the death of a bishop subject to his throne, be allowed to take away or appropriate the property of the bishop or his church, but until the installation of another bishop, let it be kept by the clergy of the church of which the deceased was the primate. Unless there are no clergy left in this church, then the property will be kept intact by the metropolitan in order to transfer everything to the bishop who will be ordained.
Greek original
Μὴ ἐξέστω τινὶ τῶν ἁπάντων μητροπολιτῶν, τελευτῶντος ἐπισκόπου τελοῦντος ὑπὸ τὸν κατ᾿ αὐτὸν θρόνον, τὰ αὐτοῦ πράγματα, ἢ τῆς κατ᾿ αὐτὸν ἐκκλησίας, ἀφαιρεῖσθαι, ἢ σφετερίζεσθαι· ἀλλ᾿ ὑπὸ παραφυλακὴν ἔστωσαν τοῦ κλήρου τῆς ἐκκλησίας, ἧς ὁ τελευτήσας ἐτύγχανε πρόεδρος, μέχρι τῆς ἑτέρου ἐπισκόπου προαγωγῆς· ἐκτὸς εἰμὴ κληρικοὶ ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ οὐχ᾿ ὑπελείφθησαν· τηνικαῦτα γὰρ ὁ μητροπολίτης ταῦτα παραφυλάξει ἀμείωτα, τῷ χειροτονηθησομένῳ ἐπισκόπῳ πάντα ἀποδιδούς.
