On interpretation of the name, Łajtar 2009b, pp. 100–101.
The scribe omitted the name of the name of the triklinios of Douksi mentioned in this phrase. His name can be easily reconstructed on the basis of the identically sounding phrase in P. QI 3 31, ll. 3–4, where the name Songoja son (?) of Ngissinngal is preserved.
It is uncertain whether the designation ⳟⲥ̄ⲥⲛ̄ⳟⲁⲛ ⲧⲟⲧⲗ̄ represents a title ('tot of Ngissinngal'), Ngissinngal being a place-name, or a filiation ('son of Ngissinngal'). Cf. an analogous situation with Irtanngal in DBMNT 584 (Ref 703494).
