no English translation located. No published English translation of this text was located in the catalogues and series checked.

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 search 'Philoponus On Aristotle Prior Analytics' returns only the Berlin CAG edition (Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca XIII.2, ed. Maximilian Wallies, 1905) and sixteenth-century Latin versions (Guillelmus Dorotheus 1541/1548, reprinted Frommann-Holzboog 1994); it returns no English translation, whereas the same query pattern for the Posterior Analytics returns four Ancient Commentators on Aristotle volumes (McKirahan 1.1-8 and 1.9-18; Goldin 2; Goldin & Martijn 1.19-34). A scan of the series field across all 344 HOLLIS records returned for 'Philoponus' shows no volume in the Fathers of the Church, Ancient Christian Writers or Popular Patristics series (checked 2026-11-13). The Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series has no Prior Analytics volume by Philoponus. The Greek text is available in TEI XML from First1KGreek and readable in Scaife.

The First1KGreek catalogue lists 220,500 words for this edition (Greek text with the Latin of the CAG volume). Local mirror: /srv/christian-corpus/f1k/data/tlg4015/tlg002. Good candidate for a first translation: the Greek is already keyed and aligned to the CAG pagination.
