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

they are born, they are made, they exist
[in] no one, they have not become
for them blessed in this,
and it is remembered in the next
chapter 1, as
it is fitting to make the canons
of the word for the community of Nicaea, hidden
for them; and when
there were closed 4 [canons] that I had previously,
and in their thinking, it is not us
that they oppose, but they oppose
God.
It is [God] who establishes these
books for God, and makes shine
the books of the Church. Then they say that
God commanded
us in all these 4. And it shall
be known from their beginning
that all that was spoken of
in them was not separated, and
and that which is opposed in
the books from the local
traditions and the apostolic canons. And when it is not
the case from what was spoken of
in their canon for the community,
a difficult matter which is not
permitted it is.

But
it was spoken from the beginning,
gathered without
separation; and he separated after
as it is fitting that which is held
and measured as
I preceded [with] the matter of the appointment of this,
this is the work of the one of this
book. And from his mind, from
within that which was written in his time,
in that which resembles for him that which is first,
and we can from God
mercy and grace
and help, so that I know
that this book
tells of its introduction and 2 [parts] of its deeds.
And the introduction says
regarding the divisions. The first
were first. The second
exists in the memory of the book
and the canons which
this book gathered, and
revealing their symbols
for the books from the divine
symbols, [and] the letters
900 [and] for the Acts of the Apostles
and the Apostles, their symbol
as the [letters] of the word, and for the angels, Paul too,
their symbol as he authorized
it, and as [in] the book that he wrote

to him, his angels,
as the other from the names
of the Hebrews, 4 Hebrews,
and for Timothy, Timo, and
for the books of the Torah, too, in
2 letters. The letters are
these, and the letter [is] the symbol of
the Torah. The first is O, the
second is OB. And divinity
is Ha, and understanding is Tsa, and the fifth is
Tehe, and Hehe is the order of
the books. For the books,
the canons, their first
[is] the canon which the Apostles
established, and they are while
assembled in the upper room of Zion,
after the ascension, and the descent of the
Holy Spirit upon them,
and before they were scattered
for the preaching of the Gospel.
[They are] the angels and the Romans
regarding their translation from the language of Greek
to Arabic, and it exists
at the 2 guards and Christians,
and it is written
therein at the place of the angels,
31 canons, and its symbol
is the two letters A TSA GA,
it is. And the second [is] the canon
that he arranged a second time,
