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 has digitised Budge's Coptic text as TEI (urn:cts:copticLit:pschrysostom.susanna.budge:1-63; https://data.copticscriptorium.org/texts/pseudochrysostom/on-susanna/) but ships no English file. The printed volume's own contents leaf (https://archive.org/details/coptichomiliesin00budgrich) reads 'II. The Explanation of Apa John, Archbishop of Constantinople, concerning Susanna. Text 46 / Translation 192', so a complete English version exists, but only inside E. A. Wallis Budge, Coptic Homilies in the Dialect of Upper Egypt (1910), pp. 192-203. Nothing later was found: HOLLIS 'Susanna Coptic John Chrysostom exposition' = 0 records (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Susanna%20Coptic%20John%20Chrysostom%20exposition&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 HOLLIS 'Coptic homilies translation English' (17 records) returns Budge's four Coptic Texts volumes, CSCO 544-545 Encomiastica (homilies attributed to Anastasius of Euchaita), Rufus of Shotep (CIM 1998) and Peter of Alexandria (CIM 1993) - none of them this homily (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Coptic%20homilies%20translation%20English&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 No CSCO, Gorgias, Brill, ACW/FOTC or Cistercian translation and no Coptic Church edition in English was located.

Extent estimated from the SCRIPTORIUM TEI (4,425 Coptic word tokens) at c.1.3 English words per token. SCRIPTORIUM warns that the codex pagination is erratic and that the edition reproduces Budge's transcription, not a diplomatic text. Budge's English is a free rendering of a single late codex.
