Comment
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.
