Contains Coptic Text from which English Versions are translated.

Used as source material for LNV Project, where we translate it ourselves to get more accurate reading. Notable find is it warns very specific about adding extra laws restricting people beyond the boundaries Jesus set; or you will be seized by them. It means in a legal sense, rather than religious rules. Very anti statist teaching.

The lawmaker page 9
ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲕⲁ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲣⲟⲥ … ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϯ ⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲑⲉⲧⲏⲥ … ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ

ϩⲟⲣⲟⲥ horos — a boundary stone, the edge of a field. Not in the sense of procedure. The image is territorial: drawing a line around something.
ⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ / ⲛⲟⲙⲟⲑⲉⲧⲏⲥ nomos / nomothetēs — statute, and the man who writes statutes. Both are Greek civic-legal loanwords carried into Coptic. This is not Torah vocabulary. The warning is about legislation, in the state's own word for it.
LNV
Set down no boundary beyond what I appointed for you, and give no statute after the manner of the legislator or you will be seized by them.
