The ANF (vols. 1-9) and NPNF (series 1 and 2) tables of contents on ccel.org contain no Life of Eutychius.

Important 6th-century Constantinopolitan patriarchate source: Eustratius, a disciple of Eutychius, wrote the Life shortly after 582 and it is a principal witness to the Three Chapters controversy's aftermath, the patriarch's deposition under Justinian, and the early cult of the saints at Constantinople. Text: CCSG 25, ed. P. Laga (Greek with French translation). No complete English translation located.

Checked: IA advancedsearch title:(Vita Eutychii), 'Eutychii patriarchae Constantinopolitani', 'Eustratius presbyter' - 0 relevant hits (only a 1661 Eutychius of Alexandria vindication and a 1923 article); IA full-text search for 'Vita Eutychii' (482 hits) and for 'Vita Eutychii' + Eustratius (173 hits) returns only modern secondary literature (JTS 1997 reviews, monographs on the sixth-century church), no edition. BnF catalogue SRU confirms Laga's CCSG 25 (Turnhout 1992) as the recorded edition: 'Vita Eutychii patriarchae Constantinopolitani / quam edidit Carl Laga', ark cb35647432b (record HTTP 200, no Gallica digitisation ark); no pre-1992 edition surfaced in any source checked, so there is no Migne text to fall back on. No manuscript witness was recorded either: DigiVatLib's manuscript search endpoint answers HTTP 403 from this host and the site has no OAI-PMH (digi.vatlib.it/oai and ?verb=Identify = 404), so no Vatican shelfmark could be verified for this text.
