The Sinodos
Section 63
Statute 6i. Concerning that which is left of the Oblations. The Eulogia which is left of the Mystery besides {lit from) that which they offered, the deacons shall distribute among the priests, with the knowledge of the bishop or presbyter. Four parts shall be given to the bishop, and three shall be given to the presbyter, and to the deacon two parts, and to the others, to the subdeacon and to the reader and to the singers and to the deaconesses, one part.
This then is good and acceptable before God ; everyone shall perform his ordinance. And there is not in the church one who did a sign, except he performed the ordinance in the good and honourable (manner) in which it should be done.^
