Since Mashankissi was Mouna's mother and Mashalko his father, they most probably were husband and wife.
This is most probably the same person as Ref 702191.

Comment
It is uncertain whether this is the personal name Seueros or the name of the saint, designating a church of St. Seueros. The latter possibility is all the more probable since several other churches are mentioned in the document as land-owners (St. Peter's, Jesus', the Apostles', Leaving Creatures'). A church of St. Severus is know from the epitaph of Staurophoros (DBMNT 515).
