Argate is referred to in the text as 'your mother'. As the addressee is Douddil, we can assume that the pronoun 'your' refers to him.

It is uncertain whether this is a double proper name or another kind of formation. Alternatives include 'dauther of Anio', 'asti of Anio' (title + toponym), 'asti of Anio' (teritorrial unit).

Comment
Łajtar in I. Khartoum Greek 6, comm. to ll. 6–7, suggested, on account of the rarity of the name, that this person may be identical with Bishop Marturophoros who died AD 1159 (Refs 701305 and 702613). However, given the evidence of DBMNT 501 dated to AD 1046, where a certain Martyrophors is mentioned as the father of Iesou (Ref 701527), this argument can no longer hold.
