	In a letter addressed to the monks dwelling in the Athonite sketae, the Patriarch of Constantinople acknowledges receipt of their letter (signed and sealed) telling him of their woe and despair at the demand of the monastic foundations that they contribute a greater share of the common levy, and informs them that he has already written to the Holy Community advising the superiors of the monasteries to adhere strictly to the terms of his own recent patriarchal and synodic letter fixing each foundation's share of the common levy. He further requested that the above-mentioned letter be signed by the monastic superiors and given into the hands of the monks in the sketae, who in future must not be required to pay higher taxes than those stipulated.
