Περὶ καταστάσεως ἐπισκόπων. ἐπίσκοπον προσήκει μάλιστα μὲν ὑπὸ πόντων τῶν ἐν τῇ ἐπαρχίᾳ ἐπισκόπων καθίστασθαι· εἰ δὲ δυσχερὲς εἴη τὸ τοιοῦτον ἢ διὰ κατεπείγουσαν ἀνάγκην ἢ διὰ μῆκος ὁδοῦ, ἐξάπαντος τρεῖς ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ συναγομένους, συμψήφων γενομένων καὶ τῶν ἀπόντων καὶ συντιθεμένων διὰ γραμμάτων, τότε τὴν χειροτονίαν ποιεῖσθαι· τὸ δὲ κῦρος τῶν γινομένων δίδοσθαι εἰς ἐκάστην ἐπαρχίαν τῷ μητροπολίτῃ ἐπισκόπῳ.
