2.1322

In the explanation: Although the companion traveling under the two rules is not a thief, it was prohibited out of fear that familiarity might arise, or that criticism and fault might be produced. According to this, when traveling abroad one must choose good companions. Non-offenses: not knowing beforehand, not forming a companionship together, following along to attain safety, difficulties concerning strength, life, or celibacy, etc., are all exceptions.
