Comment
Browne takes ⲓⲣⲟⲧⲓ to be a title designating Papon (cf. Browne, OND, p. 75), but taking into account the existence of such double names as Papon Penti and Papon Ouata, there is no formal objection against assuming a double name here as well.

Comment
The deceased Iesousiko is described by the masculine form ⲧⲟⲛ ⲇⲟⲩⲗⲟⲛ ⲥⲟⲩ, which suggests that this was a man. However, other attestations of this name are overwhelmingly feminine. This is also true for other composite names ending with -iko/-uko. Given frequent mistakes in Nubian funerary stelae as to the the gender of the deceased, one could suspect that the same happened here – the redactor mistakenly used masculine phrase to describe a woman.
