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

HOLLIS search 'Ephraemius' (16 hits) and 'Ephraemius chronicon' return Bekker's CSHB edition (Bonn, 1840, Greek-Latin) and secondary work, including a French study of its testimony on 14th-century Thracian religion; no English translation. Note the homonym Ephraim the Syrian, whose works are widely translated and dominate keyword results.

Verse chronicle in iambic trimeters covering 1204-1261, the only verse history of the Latin occupation and the Nicene recovery; valuable as a self-consciously literary counterpoint to Akropolites.

Existing translations recorded

None recorded in English. Non-English versions, where they exist, are named in the evidence above.
