Instructions to Ammon
Theophilus of Alexandria, NPNF II.14; summary
Chapter 7
Let the clergymen distribute all that is offered by way of sacrifice, after so much as was necessary has been consumed in the Mysteries. Let not the catechumens taste of them, but clergymen and communicants only.1
Notes
- Johnson gives this note. “To eat the main of what was left, was not at all inconsistent with reserving so much as was necessary for foreseen and unforeseen emergencies.”
