SCRIPTORIUM TEI (urn:cts:copticLit:psathanasius.soul_body.budge:1-91, https://data.copticscriptorium.org/texts/pseudoathanasiusdiscourses/on-the-soul-and-body/). Budge 1910 contents leaf: 'IX. The Discourse which the holy Patriarch, Apa Athanasius, Archbishop of Rakote, pronounced concerning the Soul and the Body. Text 115 / Translation 258' (https://archive.org/details/coptichomiliesin00budgrich) - the only English version found (pp. 258-274). HOLLIS 'soul and body Coptic Athanasius discourse' returns only Budge 1910 (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,soul%20and%20body%20Coptic%20Athanasius%20discourse&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 The modern CSCO edition of four other Ps.-Athanasius homilies (I. Saweros, Another Athanasius, CSCO 675-676, Peeters 2019, eng;cop) translates two homilies on Michael, the Homily on Luke 11:5-9 and the Homily on Pentecost - not this text (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Another%20Athanasius%20four%20Sahidic%20homilies&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0

6,980 Coptic word tokens (extent estimated at c.1.3 English words per token). Adjacent to, but outside, the four named pseudo-families; included because it is the same Budge-only Coptic homiletic stratum. Budge 1910 Appendix VI-VII also gives an English translation of a Syriac version of a discourse on the soul and body attributed to Alexander of Alexandria.
