2 The bishop is in the likeness of the shepherd of the shecp, and the presbyter in the likeness of a teacher, and the deacon as a minister, and the sub-deacon, behold, he is as the same; and the reader also, and the skilful singers’ and the rest of the people as those who hearken to the word of the Gospel, and, moreover, understand the word of admonition.
