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 E. A. Wallis Budge's: Coptic Apocrypha in the Dialect of Upper Egypt (1913), contents item IV 'The life of Bishop Pisentius, by John the Elder' (HOLLIS alma990063465780203941, languages eng); Coptic Scriptorium keys its TEI to that edition (archive.org copticapocryphai00budguoft p. 74). HOLLIS 'Pisentius' (13 hits) and 'Pisentius English' (6 hits) return Budge, the Arabic Life (Paris 1930, ara;eng), and German/Arabic studies - no modern English translation of the Coptic Life. 'Older translation only'.
c. 22,300 Coptic tokens in the local mirror (3 TEI files); single codex MERC.AQ, British Library Or. 7026 ff. 20a-41b. Budge's rendering is Edwardian prose with a facing Coptic text and no critical apparatus; no modern critical edition/translation of the Coptic Life was located (the Arabic Life is a separate, translated witness).
