In the view of the filiation expression in ll. 6–7, it is uncertain who Marianya mentioned in ll. 19–20 was for Marturophoros: the person could have been either his mother or grandfather.

Inyitta is here a sobriquet of Stephanos, thus perhaps rendering as a double name would be more appropriate: Stephanos Inyitta.
