How Did First Enoch and Jubilees Stay in the Ethiopian Bible?

The Garma Gospels date to between the fourth and the sixth centuries CE. The Ethiopian Bible probably descends from a Septuagint brought to the kingdom of Aksum in the late third or early fourth century CE, around the Council of Nicaea.

The collection looked similar to Codex Sinaiticus and included First Enoch, Jubilees, and other apocryphal and pseudepigraphical texts. Ethiopia ignored the canon debates in Constantinople and kept transmitting the texts it already had. Rome was part of the same northern argument.
