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

Beta Masaheft LIT1385Fekkar has no edition and no translation in its bibliography: only Dillmann 1847 (p. 22-23) and Abbadie 1859 catalogue entries (pp. 129, 191, 192) - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BetaMasaheft/Works/master/1001-2000/LIT1385Fekkar.xml. HOLLIS 'Fekkare Iyasus' returns 0 and 'Fekkare Iyasus Ethiopian' returns 0 (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Fekkare%20Iyasus&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 Open Library returns 0 (https://openlibrary.org/search.json?q=%22Fekkare+Iyasus%22). archive.org advancedsearch for 'temherta' returns nothing. Caution exercised to keep this apart from the far better known Täʾammərä ʾIyasus (Miracles of Jesus), which has its own scholarship and partial translations. No English translation; no critical edition at all.

The only manuscript registered by Beta Masaheft is BL Add. 16222 (unit ms_i.10); Dillmann and d'Abbadie catalogue further copies, so the text is not a codex unicus, but it has never been edited. With no edition, no translation exists in any language - the entry is a genuine 'none', not a 'not found'.
