According to Canon 69 of the Breviary of Ferrandus of Carthage (North Africa, AD 523/546, repeating earlier norms) the bishops, presbyters and deacons should not celebrate the Pascha at the same time as the Jews.
Canon 69
 
Vt nullus episcopus uel presbyter uel diaconus cum Iudaeis Pascha celebret.
Concilio Antiocheno, tit. 1.
 
(ed. Munier 1974: 293)
Canon 69
 
No bishop, presbyter or deacon shall celebrate the Pascha with the Jews.
Council of Antioch, title 1.
 
(trans. S. Adamiak)

Discussion:

The canon abbreviates the norm of Canon 1 of the Council of Antioch (AD 341). It probably refers not to the possiblity of celebrating the Jewish feast together with the Jews, but to the question of the date of Easter.
