LXIX.  The Reader who has intercourse with his betrothed before marriage, shall be allowed to read after a year’s suspension, remaining without advancement.  If he has had secret intercourse without betrothal, he shall be deposed from his ministry.  So too the minister. By minister Balsamon and Zonaras understand the subdeacon.  Aristenus understands all the clergy appointed without imposition of hands.  The Ben. ed. approve the latter.  cf. n. on Canon li. p. 256, and Letter liv. p. 157.
