Summary: Instructions for the Eucharist begin.

## Greek text

Περὶ δὲ τῆς εὐχαριστίας, οὕτως εὐχαριστήσατε·

## English translation (Claude)

Now concerning the Eucharist, give thanks in this way.

## Translation notes

- “The Eucharist … give thanks” (εὐχαριστίας … εὐχαριστήσατε): the noun names the rite, the verb means “give thanks” (see the glossary). Whether chapters 9–10 describe the Eucharist proper or a community meal is debated.
