Why this is in the register

Latin only. Turaev published the text in Monumenta Aethiopiae Hagiologica I (Petropoli 1902) and the Latin versio in CSCO 30-31 (1908), 'Vitae Sanctorum Indigenarum II: Acta S. Aaronis et Philippi'; HOLLIS records the CSCO volume with language 'lat' and Turaev as 'ed. and tr' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Vitae%20sanctorum%20indigenarum%20Turaev&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 No English translation surfaces under the saint's name or the monastery: 'abbot Philippos Dabra Libanos' and 'Filpos Dabra Bizan English' return 0 (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,abbot%20Philippos%20Dabra%20Libanos&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 None of this text appears among the hagiographical works Budge translated into English - the Ethiopic Synaxarium (The Book of the Saints of the Ethiopian Church, 1928), the Gadla Ḥawāryāt (Contendings of the Apostles, 1899-1901), the Life and Miracles of Takla Hāymānot (1906), Mabaʾ Seyon and Gabra Krǝstos (1898), and the Miracles of Mary with the Life of Ḥannā (1900); all five are verified as English-language volumes in HOLLIS (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Book%20of%20the%20Saints%20Ethiopian%20Church%20Budge&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0

BHO 985 / KRZ 54. The Beta Masaheft record lists BL Or. 728 as its witness. Note that Turaev's CSCO volume prints the Acts of Aaron and of Philip together.
