Shlama Gentile,
I think the Coptic bible is heavily tied to the Alexandrian Greek, no?
PS - keep in mind that the Christological controversies arose within the Roman/Byzantine empire (and Church.) The CoE (in the Sassanid Persian empire) was not involved. (that's Western Church history - we were not invited to, nor have anything to do with, Ephesus-Chalcedon or any of the other "Western" councils.)
