To whom does the Coptic Church ascribe the authorship of the Holy Book of Hebrews?

Although in the early centuries of the Church, several opinions circulated as to the authorship of the holy epistle of Hebrews, by the fourth century most witnesses, including St. John Chrysostom and St. Athanasius, ascribed the epistle to St. Paul. The Church historian Eusabius included the book in his list of St. Paul's epistle. In 397 A.D. a Council in Carthage canonized the Holy Book of Hebrews as one of the fourteen epistles of St. Paul's.
