The only edition is G. P. G. Sobhy, Le Martyre de Saint Hélias et l'encomium de l'évêque Stéphanos de Hnès sur Saint Hélias (Cairo: IFAO, 1919), Coptic text with a French translation; the Harvard record lists the volume's language as French only (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,martyre%20de%20saint%20Helias%20copte&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 HOLLIS searches for an English version return 0 records ('Coptic martyrdom Helias English', https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Coptic%20martyrdom%20Helias%20English&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 The two standard Budge corpora do not contain it: the table of contents of Coptic Martyrdoms (1914) lists Victor, Eustathius/Theopiste, Apa Cyrus, Demetrius, Ephraim, John the Monk, Onnophrius, Abbaton (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Coptic%20martyrdoms%20etc%20in%20the%20dialect%20of%20Upper%20Egypt%20Budge&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 and the full text of Miscellaneous Coptic Texts (1915) contains no Martyrdom of Helias (https://archive.org/details/miscellaneouscop00budguoft). Coptic Scriptorium's five TEI parts of the martyrdom each carry <resp>translation</resp><name>none</name>, i.e. no aligned English in the digital corpus either (https://github.com/CopticScriptorium/corpora/tree/master/helias).
The Coptic passio of Helias (Elias) in five Coptic Scriptorium parts, c. 12,082 Coptic word tokens in the surviving text (extent_words counts Coptic tokens in the TEI, not English equivalents). Sobhy's editio princeps prints Coptic with French only; no English translation of the martyrdom was located in any of the checked outlets. This is one of the largest complete Coptic martyrdom acts not available in English.
