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
The Beta Masaheft record carries an edition and a secondary bibliography but no translation. The Malkǝʾa Gubāʾe database entry (https://malkeagubae.com/works/0167/, checked 2026-11-13) gives the full Geʿez text, subject, clavis and bibliography, and offers no translation. HOLLIS 'Ethiopian malke hymn' returns only a 2024 study of the genre (Habtamu Kidana, Celebrating the Holy Saints), not a translation: https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Ethiopian%20malke%20hymn&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 LOC 'malkea maryam' = 0. PEMM's bibliography of Marian texts lists no translation of any malkǝʾ.
A strophic hymn in the 'salutation' (malkǝʾ) form addressed to the members of Mary's body; the Malkǝʾa Gubāʾe database (Augustine Dickinson) prints the text under Clavis Aethiopica 0167 and licenses it CC BY-SA 4.0. Malkǝʾ hymns are the main poetic corpus attached to the Miracles of Mary and are almost entirely untranslated into English.

Scan search: no scan located. Checks run 2026-11-13. (1) Beta maṣāḥǝft LIT0167Malke (https://betamasaheft.eu/works/LIT0167Malke/main, HTTP 200) has no witnesses and no manuscript relation; https://betamasaheft.eu/api/iiif/LIT0167Malke/manifest returns HTTP 400 {"info":"no manifest available"}. (2) The Malkǝʾa Gubāʾe database indexes 36 manuscripts (https://malkeagubae.com/manuscripts, HTTP 200); all 36 manuscript pages were fetched and none cites work 0167 (the text is presented without a manuscript list on https://malkeagubae.com/works/0167/). (3) Budge 1900, 'The Miracles of the Blessed Virgin Mary … the Ethiopic texts' (IA gri_33125008690600), was searched for ዕፍረት: 0 occurrences, so that edition does not print this hymn. (4) Grohmann 1919, 'Aethiopische Marienhymnen' (IA in.ernet.dli.2015.340651), prints only two texts (Mähleta ṣǝge and the ʾAkko-nu bǝʾsi hymn, per its Inhalt), so it does not cover 0167 either. (5) Internet Archive title searches (malkea maryam / malkǝʾa) return 0. No digitised witness or edition scan was located.
