Canon VII.

stranger shall be received without letters pacifical.

Notes.

A traveller having no letter pacific with him is not to be received.

Compare the Apostolic Canon number XXXIII.

For a discussion of the Letters styled pacifici, see notes on next canon.

This canon is found in the Corpus Juris Canonici, Gratian&#8217;s Decretum, Pars I., Dist. lxxi., c. ix. in Isidore&#8217;s version.&#160; The Roman Correctors note that Dionysius must have had a different reading from the Greek we know.
