Heretics who communicate together, or hold assemblies, or perform baptisms, are punished as those who transgress the laws; and those who provide them with houses for this purpose are made subject to the penalties already ordained. § 1. Only the orthodox who have workshops (ergasteria) within the sacred precincts enjoy the privileges, but not the heretics, who neither trade within the sacred precincts, lest they hear the divine mysteries. § 2. As for the Montanists, they do not even dwell together with those who from among them have become orthodox; and those who are called among them bishops or clerics are expelled from the city of Constantinople. § 3. They are forbidden to traffic in slaves, nor do those of them who are needy receive the disbursements which are called honoraria from the courts or from the churches;
and whoever grants them an irrational prefecture is fined ten pounds; and likewise the governors are fined ten pounds for their negligence, as also the count of the private estates and his office.
