Hasty Ordinations and Expelled Monks
…bishops; and since perhaps no one reports their circumstances, they are ordained clerics, or even presbyters.
2. On those who leave monasteries and are ordained
Others, expelled as disorderly from the monasteries themselves, then slip in to obtain ordination; and once they have become clerics, they enter even the very monasteries from which they were expelled, and wish to make the offering and to perform all that clerics are accustomed to do. And they do this, so that some who know them even stay away from the assemblies and cannot bear to share in communion while those men are officiating.

ἐπισκόπων, καὶ οὐδενὸς τάχα που τὰ κατ' αὐτοὺς ἀπαγγέλλοντος, χειροτονοῦνται κληρικοί, ἢ γοῦν πρεσβύτεροι. (β) Περὶ τῶν ἐκ μοναστηρίων ἐξερχομένων καὶ χειροτονουμένων. Ἕτεροι δέ τινες ἐξ αὐτῶν τῶν μοναστηρίων ὡς ἄτακτοι ἐκβαλλόμενοι, πάλιν ὑποτρέχουσι τὰς χειροτονίας, καὶ γενόμενοι κληρικοὶ εἰσέρχονται καὶ ἐν αὐτοῖς τοῖς μοναστηρίοις, ὅθεν ἐκβέβληνται, καὶ βούλονται προσφέρειν καὶ ὅσα κληρικοῖς ἔθος πληροῦν· καὶ ταῦτα δρᾶν, ὡς καί τινας τῶν εἰδότων αὐτοὺς παραιτεῖ 283 σθαι καὶ τὰς συνάξεις καὶ μὴ ἀνέχεσθαι κοινωνεῖν λειτουργούντων ἐκείνων.
