It is uncertain whether the designation 'chief' refers to Papasa or to his parent, Douriko.

Gender not specified.
The name is devoid of the postposition -ⲗⲟ marking each entry of the list of witnesses, but the same person occurs in the list of witnesses in DBMNT 1027 (REF 702703), which makes it clear that -ⲗⲟ should be reconstructed here as well.

The name Oilan Ngal (REF 702036) standing right before Minne is devoid of the postposition -ⲗⲟ marking each entry of the list of witnesses. It cannot therefore be excluded that we have here one complex name Oilan Ngal Minne. While -minne is attested as the second element of combinative Nubian names, no examples of names consisting of three elements have so far been identified. Moreover, both Oilan Ngal and Minne are attested as proper name standing on their own.
