partial / older only. An English translation exists but is partial or older than the critical edition. The gap is a modern, complete translation from the original. A rendering of a daughter version does not count here: it is recorded on the dossier of the text it actually translates.

Why this is in the register

The English volume is Robert C. Hill's 'Theodore of Mopsuestia, Commentary on Psalms 1-81' (Atlanta: SBL; Writings from the Greco-Roman World 5, c2006; also Brill 2006), whose title and HOLLIS contents restrict it to Psalms 1-81. HOLLIS Primo 'Theodore of Mopsuestia Commentary on Psalms' (2026-11-13) returns only that volume plus the editions of the limited corpus: Devreesse's 1939 edition of the commentary on Psalms I-LXXX and Lietzmann's 1902 edition of the Greek fragments. No English translation of the surviving material for Psalms 82-150 was located, and no second Hill volume exists in the series.

The commentary is the fountainhead of Antiochene psalm exegesis and was read through the Syriac catena; the continuous text survives for Psalms 1-81 only, the rest as Greek catena fragments, so this is a partial-by-transmission work as well as a partial translation. Translator name is left as 'unknown' because the HOLLIS record credits only the author; Hill's name is attached to the volume in the series but I did not verify it in a catalogue record.
