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 Primo (Harvard) search 'Scholies a l'Ecclesiaste Evagrius' returns the Sources chretiennes 397 (French translation) and no English-language edition; a HOLLIS search for 'Evagrius Proverbs scholia English' returns 0 records (checked 2026-11-13). R. Sinkewicz, Evagrius of Pontus: The Greek Ascetic Corpus (Oxford, 2003) translates only the ascetic works; its HOLLIS table of contents lists no scholia. ANF and NPNF contain no work of Evagrius Ponticus (NPNF series 2 vol. 11 carries John Cassian only).
The Greek text is edited with a modern-language (French) translation in Sources chretiennes 397 (French translation); no complete English translation of Evagrius's biblical scholia was located.
Existing translations recorded
None recorded in English. Non-English versions, where they exist, are named in the evidence above.

Scanned witnesses
Scan search: no scan located. No scan of the Greek scholia was located. Checks performed: IA advancedsearch for creator/title combinations ('Evagrius' + Ecclesiasten/scholia; 'Evagrii' + Ecclesiasten + scholia) returned no edition of the work; IA full-text search (https://archive.org/services/search/beta/page_production/?service_backend=fts&user_query=%22in+Ecclesiasten%22) returned 225 hits, all modern studies (e.g. 'Scholia in Ecclesiasten (in catenis: catena trium patrum), ed. S. Lucà' in the Vigiliae Christianae supplement), none an edition scan. The standard edition is Sources chretiennes 397 (Greek text with French translation), in copyright with no scan found; the Greek text otherwise survives in catena manuscripts, and no catena shelfmark was verified in this pass. Near miss recorded rather than counted: the 1912 Frankenberg volume (IA item EvagriusPonticus.AbhandlungenDerKniglichenGesellschaftDer, HTTP 200, 3.6 MB text derivative, 128 MB PDF) has a text layer OCR'd with a Cyrillic model — the djvu text opens 'ΑΒΗΛΝΏΤΙΝΟΑΈΕΝ' and contains no searchable Latin or Greek, so its contents could not be verified either way; tesseract -l grc on pages n6/n8/n10/n12/n14 of the item likewise produced no readable text. Not promoted to a candidate because presence of the Ecclesiastes scholia could not be confirmed. e-rara could not be queried (its SRU endpoint returns the search-page shell, HTTP 200, not SRU XML).
