The gender is uncertain, as the text uses both masculine and feminine 3rd person pronouns to refer to the deceased (ⲛ̄ⲧⲟⲥⲙ̄ⲧⲟⲛ ⲙ̄ⲙⲟϥ).

Gender not specified.
This is probably variant of the name Iesousinta. The gender of the person is not indicated in the text, but judging by other examples of names formed with the suffix -inta/-anta (eg. Marianta, Menanta, Michenta, Petrosinta, which all belong to women) it is feminine.
This is most proabably the same person as in Ref 702828.

Comment
A certain man Iotani died and was buried on the same cemetery 33 years earlier (Ref 702653). Therefore, it is probable that we are dealing here with the same person, hence Iotani's gender, otherwise not indicated in the text, can be established as male.
