partial / older only. An English translation exists but is partial or older than the critical edition. The gap is a modern, complete translation from the original. A rendering of a daughter version does not count here: it is recorded on the dossier of the text it actually translates.

Why this is in the register

The only English rendering located is Budge's: Coptic Martyrdoms etc. in the Dialect of Upper Egypt (1914), contents item VI 'The Asketikon of Apa Ephraim' (HOLLIS alma990022486850203941); Coptic Scriptorium keys its TEI to that volume (archive.org CopticMartyrdomshighResByEWallisBudgeVol01 p. n231). HOLLIS 'Asceticon Ephrem' returned 0 records and 'Asceticon of Apa Ephrem' no translation; the work is a Coptic ascetic florilegium attributed to Ephrem, not the Greek Ephrem corpus. Older translation only.

c. 10,800 Coptic tokens in the local mirror (3 TEI files); codex MERC.AS, British Library Or. 7022 ff. 45b-53b. Budge's is the standard access text; no modern edition or English translation located.
