Songoja is desiganted as 'the son of the bishop of Ibrim'. Unless Thoma's predecessor was meant here, which is rather unlikely, Thoma was Songoja's father.

Comment
Gender not specified.
The phrase ⲁⲥⲧⲓⲇⲟ is found right after the name of Simamon. Browne translates it tentatively as '(acting) for Asti', but it is uncertian what this should mean in the protocol. No analogous structures are known from Nubian protocols.
