Gender not specified.
The phrase reads ⲕⲟⳝⲛ̄ ⲁ̇ⲥⲗ̄ⲗⲟ so two interpretations are possible: either (1) the phrase should be treated as a patronymic, 'the daughter of Koji', the daughter's name being othwerwise omitted, or (2) the whole phrase should be considered a name, Kojin Asil. However, the former solution seems a little more probable because of the presence of the phrase ⲉⲓⲥⲙⲛ̄ⲛⲛⲁⲛ ⲁ̇ⲥⲗ̄ⲗⲟ in the next line (see the commentary in Ref 793699).

The phrase reads ⲉⲓⲥⲙⲛ̄ⲛⲁⲛ ⲁ̇ⲥⲗ̄ⲗⲟ so two interpretations are possible: either (1) the phrase should be treated as a patronymic, 'the daughter of Isminna', the daughter's name being othwerwise omitted, or (2) the whole phrase should be considered a name, Isminnan Asil. However, the former solution seems a little more probable because Isminna is attested elsewhere (Ref 701551).
