Comment
The phrase ⲡⲣⲙⲧⲕⲉⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲕⲏⲗⲥⲉⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲃⲧ is obviously masculine, hence it seems to refer to Maria's deceased father Ioseph; however, since the presentation of Maria follows the same pattern as that of Eudoxia, where the latter is called 'the woman from the town of Kelsei East', it is more probable that this was only a scribal mistake here.
Maria is recorded in TM People under three numbers: 101312, 105874, and 106548.
