Council of Ancyra (314)

Local councils, NPNF II.14

Chapter 19

If any persons who profess virginity shall disregard their profession, let them fulfil the term of digamists. And, moreover, we prohibit women who are virgins from living with men as sisters.

Notes · Ancient Epitome of Canon XIX

Whoever has professed virginity and afterwards annuls it, let him be cut off for four years. And virgins shall not go1 to any as to brothers.

Notes

  1. Aristenus understands this to mean to “live with,” using the verb συναναστρέφεσθαι.
