Two recent English volumes cover only parts of the corpus: C. W. McPherson, Nilus of Ancyra: Byzantine Theologian and Ascetic (Gorgias, 2024) is described by the publisher as 'a modern and accurate selection' and contains Letters (English) plus the Commentary on the Song of Songs; Tim Vivian, The Teachings of Neilos of Ancyra: Three Essential Works (American University in Cairo Press, 2026) translates three treatises. No complete English translation of the letter corpus printed in PG 79 was located in HOLLIS.
PG 79 prints the Nilus corpus, including the large letter collection; the archive.org OCR of the volume was checked for 'Nili' occurrences. The attribution of much of the corpus (and its relation to Evagrius) remains debated.
