The phrase reads ⲉⳣⲁⲗ ⲁⲥⲗ̄ⲇⲟ and two interpretations are possible: either (1) the phrase should be treated as a patronymic, 'the daughter of Eua', the daughter's name being othwerwise omitted, or (2) the whole phrase should be considered a name, Eual Asil.

Lacuna precedes the name, so it is uncertain whether the form is complete on the left.

Reading of the name corrected in NOM 4, no. 13a.
Alternatively, this could be a variant of the Nubian name Papasi (NAM 201822) with the metathesis of the first two letters.

It is uncertain whether this is a double proper name or another kind of formation. Alternatives include 'dauther of Tamiti', 'asti ofTamit' (title + toponym), 'asti of Tamit' (teritorrial unit). The two last interpretations seem a little more probable given the obvious resemblance of ⲧⲁⲙⲧ- with the toponym Tamit. Note that described saqiya is in Tamit East.
