Why this is in the register
PEMM story record 157 (queried 2026-11-13 at https://cms.ethiopicmary.com/stories/157?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its translation table contains three Amharic records (Täsfa Gäbrä Śəllase), one French (Colin 2004) and one unpublished English draft (Jeremy Brown with Ekaterina Pukhovaia). The story appears in 272 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/157). 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).

Origin classified by PEMM as Europe (probably). The Geʿez incipit begins 'ወሀሎ፡ አሐዱ፡ መኰንን፡ በሀገረ፡ ኤፌሶን፡ ዘስሙ፡ አርማትያስ…'.
