Gender not specified.
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
Referring to the deceased, the redactor consistently uses the masculine 3rd person singular pronoun (ⲛⲧⲁϥ, ⲙⲙⲟϥ, ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ, ⲧⲉϥ-), which makes it doubtful whether Mariam is here indeed a female name.
