For pollution is contagious, and one who touches an accursed being is affected by his guilt. But we must be pure in the sight of God in both mind and body. Under these circumstances the Church of Ptolemais gives the following injunctions to her sisters in all parts of the earth: To Andronicus and his belongings, to Thoas and his belongings, let no sacred precincts of God be opened.
