Council in Trullo (692)
Ecumenical councils, NPNF II.14
63. Canon 63
We forbid to be publicly read in Church, histories of the martyrs which have been falsely put together by the enemies of the truth, in order to dishonour the martyrs of Christ and induce unbelief among those who hear them, but we order that such books be given to the flames. But those who accept them or apply their mind to them as true we anathematize.
Notes · Ancient Epitome of Canon LXIII
Martyrologies made up by the ethnics (Ἑλλη νιών) shall not be published in church.
