ፍትሐ ነገሥት (Law of the Kings — Legal Code of the Ethiopian Empire)

The helper is he who does not exist
for the sake of the judgment, he desires for
him the time in which there is patience
because he did not
ordain again in the assembly, he is
and he will be from him a dispute
because of the reason of haste,
and there will be born because of him
a hidden judgment, a work for the parents
of the nations, it existed within
them from the every order of
works within the judgment which
the judges know. And behold, they say, the Apostles,
in the second part, the third,
from the Didascalia teaching of the apostles, regarding the commandment of the Bishop,
and every good work for all
those who taught in that which profits
him, and in the judgment of the
canons, he said, "Always we..."
in the houses of the separated, regarding
the work, many from the
canons, at the time they recall
in it their completion, and also
he places first its remembrance, and
it remained in the canons, many
fitted the gathering and the
strengthening of it in its chapters regarding

the understanding, and the establishment of the
works, it was not remembered regarding
its judgment, another except
this, it is fitting then
another judgment regarding
the judgment from the one who gave it, and
the work in it, and the completion of the one
who brought it, [and] he draws it because of the
disputes of the effort and the
gathering, if he has no
from the ones regarding the working of the
judgments, and the association of this
work from the disciples regarding
the judgment, in the appearance of that which we do not
know, the judgment over all
works, and the keeping also from the judgment
which they judge in it over
anyone, in the judgment of another, as
the Apostles say in the judgment
of the Gena Garden/Paradise, from the canons which all
stood [in], and if they were
not lacking, if anything
of them, the work of the judgment which is
in that which is fitting, for they were all
the Spirit of God.
And in all of them within the
canons, as he judged this from
it, and if it remained from it
anything, the Bishop recalls it.
And also it exists within the
canons, that which he revealed from it, and

if it remained from it
anything, he loved this,
[it] is possible for God,
who was fitting, and the
Church was guided in that which
is fitting, [the] leader of the hated.
And also they say to the Bishops
in the Didascalia, "Behold,
if our Lord says to you
what you bound
on earth, let it be bound
in heaven, and what you loosed
on earth, let it be loosed
in heaven," and loosed
by your authority from the power.
And if they judged for the sake of the
repentance of the sinners in the
times of the neques tribulation/penance, the fathers [gave] to
the scholars, its simplicity and
its strengthening in the setting [of] the good
[of] the change of their work.
And we, that which is done
in it, in this fruit, entirely,
the word of our Lord is, to Him
be praise, who said
to his disciples, "Go
and teach all the
nations, and baptize them in the
name of the Father, and the Son, and the
