I am willing to bet any sum of money that the reason you cannot is simply for lack of actual research practices like using a bibliography.

Most likely, you "can't find any" based on a cursory google search in english.

A simple visit to wikipedia shows that both ancient papyrii as well as several translations into english from medieval texts from the mid 1800's exist and their reference numbers are easily linked.

Here is the 1849 translation which is the earliest I found simply by visiting wikipedia

If you are curious, the reason you won't likely find older English translations is simply that before that time, most European scholars learned both Greek and Latin and read the texts in these languages, not bothering to translate such books into lingua vulgaris for the masses.

(There was a bit of controversy mid-century when Harvard decided to drop Greek fluency as a requirement to enroll, just to put that in perspective. Before the GI bill in particular, any college educated person was expected to be able read both Greek and Latin. It is not even 100 years since English became the dominant language of academia as opposed to Greek serving for roughly the last 2500 years.)
