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 'Theodoret Quaestiones in Reges et Paralipomena' and 'Theodoret In libros Regum' (2026-11-13) return only the 1984 critical edition 'Theodoreti Cyrensis Quaestiones in Reges et Paralipomena: editio critica' (Madrid: Instituto Arias Montano, CSIC), whose language is recorded as grc alone, i.e. a text edition with no facing translation, and a 16th-century manuscript whose description reads 'Questions on the Octateuch and on the books of Kings and the Hagiographa'. The English 'Theodoret of Cyrus: The Questions on the Octateuch' (2007) covers only Genesis-Ruth and does not include the Kings/Chronicles questions. No volume in Fathers of the Church, Ancient Christian Writers or Popular Patristics.

Companion to the Octateuch Questions, which do have an English translation (2007); the Kings/Chronicles set therefore leaves a visible hole in an otherwise translated corpus, and it is the only place where Theodoret comments at length on Samuel, Kings and Chronicles. The 1984 Madrid edition is the standard text; no open scan of it was located, and the Migne volume that would contain it (PG 80) is not among the digitised Migne volumes at archive.org, so this entry has no verified e-text.

Existing translations recorded

None recorded in English. Non-English versions, where they exist, are named in the evidence above.

Electronic text

No open electronic text was verified for this work. The Greek/Coptic/Geʿez may exist only in a print or subscription edition (Migne, CSCO, TLG, CMCL).

Scanned witnesses

Scan search: open scan — 2 candidate(s). The Greek text of the Kings/Chronicles questions is available only through Migne PG 80 (and the 1984 Madrid edition, not digitised), so a Migne scan is the practical ingestion source. The volume is a single Migne tome containing both the Octateuch and the Regum/Paralipomenon questions; the re-OCR route demonstrated on PG 68 (tesseract -l grc on a column-cropped full-resolution page) applies unchanged.
