Comment
There are strange two letters ⲡⲧ between ⲟ ⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲟⲥ and the name. It does not seem likely they belong to the name. They should rather represent Ioannes' title or epithet, perhaps the abbreviation for ⲡ(ⲁ)ⲧ(ⲏⲣ) or some sort of abbreviation for presbyteros.

Comment
Masnegios is described with the feminine ⲏ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ but in the text the masculine pronoun ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲩ is used. Junker 1925a believed that ⲏ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ had been mistakenly copied by the redactor from another stela from Arminna, that of Christophoria (DBMNT 460) and thus assumed Masnegios to be a male name. He even suggested that this was a misspelling from Magnesios, but such a name has not been attested so far.
