Why this is in the register

The work appears in the Migne elenchus at Patrologia Latina 65, 573 ('De incarnatione Filii Dei 573'), and the editor's preface names its addressee, Scarila, in the phrase 'tum de incarnatione Filii Dei ad Scarilam' (https://archive.org/details/patrologiaecur65mign). A library search for the title returns no records (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Fulgentius%20incarnatione%20Scarila&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 and neither English selection (Fathers of the Church 95 and 126) includes it (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Fulgentius%20selected%20works%20Fathers%20of%20the%20Church&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 The only modern edition is the Latin of Corpus Christianorum, Series Latina 91-91A. No English translation was located.

Written for a layman at the Vandal court, this is Fulgentius's compact statement of how the one person of Christ bears two natures, the doctrine he defended in exile and the point on which the African church under Arian rule was tested. It belongs with the letters on Christology in Fathers of the Church 126, but it is not in them.
