Why this is in the register
Giron 1907 published the Coptic fragments with a French translation ('Histoire de Marina', listed in the volume's contents as item III) (https://archive.org/details/lgendescoptesfr00revigoog; contents in the Harvard record https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Legendes%20coptes%20Giron&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 HOLLIS searches for an English version of this Coptic life return no relevant records: 'Life of Marina Coptic' returns only handbooks and a Spanish hagiography anthology (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Life%20of%20Marina%20Coptic&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 and 'Marina Transvestite Coptic' / 'Marinos monk Coptic legend' return 0 (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Marinos%20monk%20Coptic%20legend&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 Coptic Scriptorium's two TEI files record translation 'none'.
The Coptic text is the Marina/Marinos legend (a woman living as a monk, falsely accused of fathering a child) in a White Monastery fragment, c. 2,426 Coptic tokens. English translations exist of the Greek recension of the same legend, but the Coptic version itself has only a French translation (Giron 1907) and no English one was located.
