Yes, the Ethiopians are of the Alexandrian tradition and do recognize the Coptic Patriarch as a kind of “elder,” but they are their own Particular Church with their own traditions (which includes Judaic and other traditions).
“Copt” comes from “Aegyptos.”
When I recently told a Coptic Orthodox priest about “St Pontius Pilate” and his veneration among the Ethiopians, he remarked, “Wow! Here I am working with the Ethiopians for 30 years and this is the first I’ve heard of this…”
