Comment
Mina read ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲟ ⲁ|ⲡⲉⲗⲏ, which causes some problems with the proper recognition of the gender of the deceased Apeli, ⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲟ seemingly pointing to a man. However, judging by the drawing, the final omikron may be an alpha; cf. the shape of the alphas at the end of the previous line and in ⲡⲁⲱⲛⲉ̣ in line 6. The new reading would therefore be ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲁ|ⲡⲉⲗⲏ.
