Bibliography & list of abbreviations - 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.
