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 print edition located is Italian: Vite dei monaci Phif e Longino (Milan: Cisalpino-Goliardica, 1975; language ita; contents 'Vita di Phif' / 'Vita di Longino'; HOLLIS alma990008436770203941). Coptic Scriptorium publishes English translations of the 5 PATHS sections (translator credit Randy Komforty; urn:cts:copticLit:lives.longinus_lucius.paths_ed:0-9), so the work is not wholly untranslated, but no printed English translation exists and the TEI's parallel Arabic column is untranslated. HOLLIS 'Longinus Lucius Coptic' (1 hit: the Italian volume) and 'Longinus et Lucius' (3 unrelated) show no English translation.
5 TEI files in the local mirror; the file carries Sahidic Coptic, a parallel Arabic text (untranslated), and an English rendering. Because the English is digital-only and tied to the PATHS edition, a printed critical translation remains a gap; the Arabic recension would need separate treatment.
