Comment
Wojciechowski (2011, pp. 273, 279, 281, 289) considers this man to be identical with Dauids from DBMNT 582 (Ref 702059; Per 602059) and DBMNT 1038 (Ref 702486; Per 602486); this is his David II. He does not give any arguments for that, however, and since there are no clear links visible in the texts, they are treated here as separate persons.

Comment
Gender not specified.
Łajtar 2011, p. 45, for some reasons believes that the name 'obviously belongs to a man'. This, however, is nowhere implicit. Instead, the probable etymology of the name, that is 'womanhood', speaks rather in favour of the female gender of its bearer.

This could be a separate simple name Ngal or an element of a composite name combined with ⲕⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⳝⲓ standing before the lacuna. Alternatively, this could be treated as a common noun 'son'.
