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
Coptic Scriptorium's TEI records the translation as Budge's (urn:cts:copticLit:pachomius.instructions.budge:1-34): Budge, Coptic Apocrypha in the Dialect of Upper Egypt (1913), contents item VI 'The instructions of Apa Pachomius' (HOLLIS alma990063465780203941), page 144. HOLLIS 'Instructions of Pachomius' returns Budge plus Veilleux's Pachomian Koinonia (Cistercian 1980-82; vol. 3 = 'Instructions, letters, and other writings of Saint Pachomius and his disciples', HOLLIS alma990010408730203941); the record's contents note does not let me confirm that vol. 3 covers this codex text, and the work is accessible to me in English only through Budge. Older translation only.
c. 12,500 Coptic tokens in the local mirror (2 TEI files); single codex MERC.AR, British Library Or. 7024 ff. 18a-34a, from Hagr Edfu. Distinguish from the Pachomian Rules and the Catecheses translated in Veilleux (Cistercian 1981/1982) - this is a separate Coptic instruction text.
