Why this is in the register

No English translation was located. HOLLIS on 'Arnobius the Younger commentary on the Psalms' returns only the Latin text with German introduction in the Vienna Corpus (Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum 87, Turnhout 1990) and the Latin-French 'Opera omnia' (Brepols, 1992); the records are all Latin editions of the sixteenth century or later (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Arnobius%20the%20Younger%20commentary%20on%20the%20Psalms&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 Princeton finds nothing at all (https://catalog.princeton.edu/catalog.json?q=Arnobius+Junior+psalms&search_field=all_fields). One English translation of a work transmitted under Arnobius's name does exist — 'Arnobius Iunior, Praedestinatus' (2022, with Latin) — but the Praedestinatus is a different treatise, not the psalm commentary (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Arnobius%20the%20Younger%20Praedestinatus&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0

A complete Latin commentary on all 150 psalms by an African writer working in Rome in the 450s, and one of the very few continuous Latin psalm commentaries between Augustine and Cassiodorus. Its 100,000-plus words make it the largest untranslated item in this slice; students of Latin psalm exegesis must work from Migne or the CSEL text.
