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 206 (queried 2026-11-13 at https://cms.ethiopicmary.com/stories/206?language=en-us&translation_seq=1) records no published English translation; its translation table contains a single unpublished English draft (Jeremy Brown & Dawit Muluneh with Ekaterina Pukhovaia, 2022) and nothing else in any language. The story appears in 271 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/206). The Beta Masaheft record lists no translation at all 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 'ወሀለወት፡ አሐቲ፡ መበለት፡ ውስተ፡ ደብር…'.

Scan search: open scan — 3 candidate(s). 271 of PEMM's 716 complete manuscripts carry the story, but almost all are EMML (login-walled) or BL/BnF. The open route is Ethio-SPaRe and EMIP: ESdd006 (Dabra Dāmmo) and EMIP00864 (Chelekot Silasie) are both full Taʾammǝra Māryām codices with CC BY-NC-ND facsimiles. Caveat recorded honestly: the OCR is not usable, and because the miracle is not itemised in the manuscript TEI (0 Beta maṣāḥǝft records cite LIT3733Miracle at msItem level) the presence of this specific story rests on PEMM's folio citation, not on a page-level check of my own.
