When the bishop says Per ipsum et cum ipso, the archdeacon lifts the chalice, holding it by the handles with the linen called offertorium, and holds it on high, next to the bishop. The bishop touches the side of the chalice with the breads while saying Per ipsum et cum ipso up to the Per omnia saecula saeculorum. Then he places the breads in their place, and the archdeacon, having removed the offertorium from the chalice's handles, places the chalice next to the bread. (Ordo I, c. 700-750)
