καθαίρεσιν δὲ αὐ- τῶν ὑπομενόντων, ἀναγκαῖον εἰς τόπους αὐτῶν ἑτέρους καθἰστa- >σθαι ἐπισκόπους, ἵνα ἡ ἔνθεσμος ἐκκλησία τὴν προσήκουσαν >λαβοῦσα συμφωνῇ πρὸς ἑαυτήν, τῶν πανταχόθεν ἐπισκόπων >σύνδεσμον τῆς ἀγάπης φυλαττόντων, διὰ τοῦ λέγειν τὰ >κατηρτισμένους τῷ αὐτῷ νοὶ· καὶ τῇ αὐτῇ γνώμῃ«. ἵνα >γινώσκῃς τὰ τῇ συνόδῳ δόξαντα, ταῦτα πρὸς τὴν σὴν ἀπεστείλαμεν· ἅπερ εὐχόμεθά σε διαφυλάττοντα χάριτι Χριστοῦ εἰρη- >νικῶς καὶ ἐνθέσμως κυβερνᾶν τὰς ὑπὸ σὲ ἐκκλησίας.«
