25. All the euchologies, whether manuscript or printed, which are earlier than the revision of Leontius, included prayers for the emperor, the king, his palace, and army. In the May 1, 1746, session of the Congregation for the Correction of the Euchologion, it was disputed whether these prayers should be removed. It was decided, with

Our subsequent approval, that "they should be left in the canon or the liturgy." But since the Greeks of old used to offer these prayers at the prothesis as well, but later removed them, it was added that "they are not to be said during the prothesis or preparation." For it seemed pointless to say such prayers at the prothesis when they were already being said in the canon, or liturgy." The newly corrected edition of the Euchologion has treated the matter in just this way.
