c10.t2.16

‡ The meaning of this expression cannot be that the nun is not allowed to speak to the monk at all. It is probably meant that the nun is not allowed to charge a monk with an offence, to hold him to penance therefor, eventually to veto his participation in the ceremonies of the confession and invitation (cf. “Cull.” x, 20).
