Deuteronomy
The LXX calls the book Deuteronómion, which translates to "second law" or "repetition of the (torah)" in English. This Greek title comes from a mistranslation of the Hebrew phrase "copy of this law" found in Deuteronomy 17:18. While the title isn't a perfect reflection of the entire book, it accurately captures a significant aspect of Deuteronomy, which consists of Moses' final speeches to Israel before Israelites entered the Promised Land, and includes a reformulation of earlier laws.
The DSS in Hebrew uses the word Devarim, meaning "words," taken from its opening phrase "These are the words". It is also known by the name Mishneh Torah, which translates to "repetition of the Torah" and reflects the book's content.
The link below is intended to give the viewer places where Moses and the Israelites traveled through Jordan before crossing the river with Joshua (Yehoshua).
The SP calls this scroll "These Are the Words", following the tradition of most ancient sources that held no chapters or verses but rather identified a thought or sequence by naming the opening line. Since ancient times the Samaritans have used the Priestly Blessing when reading their Torah, for a similar practice see the hebrew letter shin represented by the Birkat Kohanim. Also see Benyamim Tsedaka's translation for special interest into the use of tonal chanting and special cantillation in liturgy on youtube, or an example of the writing is https://archive.org/details/samaritan_pentateuch/page/XXXIV/mode/2up
You can find some Church commentaries compiled by a group of Coptic Orthodox Christians on holy scriptures. Their site shows the vetus instrumentum (old tool/testament) and novum instrumentum (new tool/testament) similar to the Latin Vulgate scrolls so it is not a one-stop shop. FYI "instrumentum" was used in the west in the sense of legal documents or evidence of God's covenant to refer to holy writings. However in the East christians were less subtle and used terms like Law, Prophets, Psalms, Gospel, Memoirs, Hymns, Epistles, and Liturgies to refer to holy writings.
Their site, like mine, is a work in progress, and so they do not link every single verse to an Apostolic Church or ancient christian text/commentary, but they got plenty of interesting stuff

I highly recommend seeing my Word doc for a brief overview of the bible and works that influenced or were influenced by the process of transmission.
