Why this is in the register

The Migne volume's own contents list reads 'S. ANDREAS CRETENSIS ARCHIEPISCOPUS. Homiliae XXI, ex editione Gallandii et Francisci Combefisii collectae', and the individual pieces are headed In Nativitatem B. Mariae I-IV, In Annuntiationem, In Circumcisionem Domini et in S. Basilium, In Transfigurationem, In Lazarum Quadriduanum, In Ramos Palmarum, In Exaltationem S. Crucis I-II, In Dormitionem S. Mariae I-III, In S. Joannis Decollationem (PG 97: https://archive.org/download/patrologia-graeca_202105/97.pdf). English coverage is confined to three SVS Popular Patristics anthologies: PPS 35 (Mary B. Cunningham, 2008) has Nativity I-IV and the Annunciation; PPS 18 (Brian E. Daley, 1998) has one Dormition homily; PPS 48 (Brian E. Daley, 2013) has the Transfiguration homily - roughly 7 of 21. HOLLIS Primo searches 'Andrew of Crete homilies' and 'Andrew of Crete English translation homily' return no volume of the homilies as such (only the anthologies above and Italian 'Omelie mariane'), checked 2026-11-13. Neale, Hymns of the Eastern Church (1862), prints only short excerpts.

Untranslated in English, so far as located: the homily on the Circumcision and St Basil, the homily on Lazarus, the Palm Sunday homily, both Exaltation of the Cross homilies, two of the three Dormition homilies and the Beheading of John the Baptist homily. Daley's two anthologies translate single feasts, not the corpus; there is no English counterpart to the Italian 'Omelie mariane'.
