no English translation located. No published English translation of this text was located in the catalogues and series checked. Where only a non-English rendering or a translation of a daughter version exists, it is recorded below and does not close the gap. Treat this as a gap candidate, not as proof that no translation exists; the evidence names every source checked.
Why this is in the register
PEMM story record 136 (queried 2026-11-13 at https://cms.ethiopicmary.com/stories/136?language=en-us&translation_seq=1) records no published English translation; its translation table contains three Amharic records (Täsfa Gäbrä Śəllase), one French (Colin 2004) and one unpublished English draft (Jeremy Brown with Ekaterina Pukhovaia, 2022). The story appears in 308 of PEMM's 716 complete manuscripts, so its absence from English is a coverage gap rather than an accident of survival (https://pemm.princeton.edu/en-us/stories/136). The Beta Masaheft record lists only Colin2004TaamraMaryam under translations. It is not among Budge's 110 miracles (PEMM holds 135 Budge translation records, none for this story). HOLLIS 'Ethiopian miracles of Mary translation' returns no English version: https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Ethiopian%20miracles%20of%20Mary%20translation&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0
Origin classified by PEMM as Europe (confirmed). The Geʿez incipit begins 'ወነበረ፡ አሐዱ፡ ብእሲ፡ በሀገረ፡ ገላትያ፣ ፈያታዊ…' (a brigand in Galatia).

Scan search: open scan — 3 candidate(s). Same coverage profile as the nun miracle: 308 PEMM witnesses, all EMML/BL/BnF except the Ethio-SPaRe and EMIP collections. ESdd006 is the single best open target because PEMM attests both target miracles in it. No edition or printed translation was found in IA or Gallica; Colin 2004 (Taʾämra Maryam) is print-only.
Same manifest/range evidence as for story 206 (manifest HTTP 200, 272 canvases, Taʾammǝra Māryām canvases p8–p254); PEMM story 136 (total_records 308) lists 'ESP (UH) DD-006, s. 163'. OCR sample from canvas p130 as abov…
PEMM story 136 lists 'EMML (HMML) 3872, f. 32v'; HMML record exists (Zēnā Mārqos, 1508-1540). Reading room HTTP 200, manifest HTTP 200 (365 canvases). IIIF manifest is public but image files are not delivered without a…
