Why this is in the register

NASSCAL e-Clavis (ECCA 600, CANT 75) lists exactly one English translation: Alphonse Mingana, 'Martyrdom of Pilate', Woodbrooke Studies 2 (Cambridge: Heffer, 1928), translation pp. 243-82, text pp. 283-333, based on Mingana Syr. 127 (p. 355) and Paris arabe 152 (https://www.nasscal.com/e-clavis-christian-apocrypha/martyrdom-of-pilate/). The other listed versions are French (Beylot 1993; Lanchantin 2002; Galtier 1912) and German. HOLLIS 'Martyrdom of Pilate' returns the 1928 volume, the French Brepols edition and a German study, with no other English translation (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Martyrdom%20of%20Pilate&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0

Included as an 'older translation only' entry. Mingana's introduction calls the two documents of the volume 'of a common Egyptian origin' and compares them with the Coptic apocrypha edited by Revillout and Lacau; the text itself is Arabic/Garshuni, not Coptic.
