Comment
Souai is described with the feminine epithet ⲏ ⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲁ (ll. 5–6), but with the masculine pronoun ⲧⲟⲩⲧⲟ[ⲩ] (l. 7). This is indeed confusing, as the name appears to be otherwise attested as masculine.

Gender is uncertain.
The phrase ⲥⲉⲙⲛⲓ̈ ⲁ̇ⲥⲗ̄ following the name can be interpreted twofold: (1) as a patronymic, that is 'daughter of Sem' (thus Ruffini), or (2) as a designation of an office, that is 'as of Semna'.

Gender not specified.
It is uncertain whether ⲥⲉⲙⲛⲓ should be understood here as the genitive of the anthroponym Sem in the function of patronymic ('daughter of Sem', thus Ruffini in P. QI 4 72), or a toponym belonging to the designation of an office ('as of Semna', thus Łajtar – Ochała 2015).
