Article 161
The kellia [cells] of a monastery are granted to three canonically ton sured persons, in succession, in exchange for an established price. This occurs by means of homologa, listing the names of the inhabitants of the kellion, delimiting the territory on which it is situated, and describing all its property.
Article 162
When the Elder of a kellion dies, the ruling monastery commutes the homologon to a new one for payment of the established trimeridion, as defined by the Patriarchal sigillion of 1909 and Resolution No. 56 of 1911 of the Holy Synod of the Great Church. In it, the name of the second highest-ranking person is written first, the name of the third person is written second, and that of a new person from the remaining synod of the kellion is written third, if such a person exists and has been success fully admitted. These three may take on up to three disciples (novices or monks), with the total number of people in the kellion being limited to six. It is not permitted to exceed this number by any means. Permission may not be given to take on another person if the number of inhabitants of the kellion may exceed six.
Article 163
The kellion has the exclusive usufruct rights of the plots of arable land around it, though the right to exploit the forests around the kellion be longs exclusively to the ruling monastery, which in so doing ought to take the needs of the kellion into account.
Article 164
The kelliotai [cell-dwellers] have an obligation to keep their kellia in good condition by conducting necessary repairs, to preserve intact the property rights of the kellia, and, in general, to strive assiduously to improve the dwellings with which they have been entrusted through the homologon. They are responsible to the ruling monastery for fulfilling these obligations; if they fail to do so, the monastery may resort to enforcing 3rd sub-para of Article 139 of the present Constitutional Charter.
Article 165
Any border dispute between two kellia of the same monastery is resolved by the ruling monastery.
Article 166
The inhabitants of kellia may uproot trees and grow grapes around the kellion only after obtaining permission from the ruling monastery. Those who violate this rule may be punished in accordance with the Constitutional Charter.
