One who from a Manichaean has become orthodox, if he be found doing those things that belonged to his [former] error, or even merely living together and associating with Manichaeans, and does not immediately report them to the competent judge, is punished with the ultimate penalty. § 1. Likewise, let those who are in dignities and in the militias diligently inquire into and report those of their own company who are of this kind; for if a Manichaean who has been apprehended says that he is known and recognized as such by certain persons, those persons are fittingly punished as having committed the same offenses, even though they themselves be not such; for they are seen to commit the same offense, since, knowing the offender, they did not make him manifest. § 2. He who has Manichaean books and does not reveal them, that they may be burned, is punished.
