I know of one man who has spent considerable time translating into  
English  the Greek text of Nonnos, and that is Tony Prost. His web- 
site is still active at

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Pantheon/5876/index.html

His translation or "paraphrase" has been published and is available  
at Amazon.com:

His e-address, according to the web-site, is

tonyprost at aol.com --

I don't know whether that's still active, but you can try it. At the  
time when he was actively working on this, he was an active member of  
the B-Greek discussion group,
but he is not so any longer, and I'm not sure what his current status  
is.
