In l. 7, the redactor of the epitaph mistakenly used the feminine article in reference to the deceased Longinos (ⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲟⲩⲗⲟⲩ).

Comment
The phrase ⲡⲣⲙⲧⲕⲉⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲕⲏⲗⲥⲉⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲃⲧ is obviously masculine, hence it seems to refer to Maria's deceased father Ioseph; however, since the presentation of Maria follows the same pattern as that of Eudoxia, where the latter is called 'the woman from the town of Kelsei East', it is more probable that this was only a scribal mistake here.
Maria is recorded in TM People under three numbers: 101312, 105874, and 106548.

Athanasia occurs here together with Maria and Sion, which allows supposing that the three women were sisters, but their relation is not explicitly stated.

Comment
It is uncertain whether all elements form the king's name. The sam king occurs in DBMNT 638 uder the simple name Dauid. It cannot be excluded that the phrase Georgiou Basileos expresses the filiation ('[son/successor of] King Georgios]. Alternatively, we may be dealing here with an analogous case as in DBMNT 591, where we find King Mouses Georgios refereed to as ⲅⲉⲱⲣⲅⲓ ⲟⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲉⲗⲗⲓ (l. 2). If so, the kings full name would have to be spelled Georgios Dauid.
