Canon LXXXII.&#160; (Greek lxxxv.)

Of manumissions.

, it seemed good that the Emperor be petitioned with regard to announcing manumissions in church.

Notes.

The imperial permission must be asked for the making of the manumission of slaves in churches.

This is the same as the sixty-fourth [Greek numbering] canon, and is there explained.

This is Canon xvj. of Carthage, September, 401.

A repetition of Canon 64 (67).
