It is uncertain what kind of function or office 'ouataphil' designates. However, since we have no secure attestations of Nubian women beraing titles, the mere presence of this title suggests that Tapara was a man.

Ruffini points out that it is uncertain whether this word should be understood as an anthroponym or the phrase 'that Oshshi' or 'that slave'.

The name is followed by the noun ⲁⲥⲓ, 'daughter', but since the text is only fragmentarily preserved, it cannot be asserted whether the two words are connected.
