Deuteronomy
The LXX calls the book Deuteronómion, which translates to "second law" or "repeated law" 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 entering 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 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.
