It is uncertain whether ⲟⲙⲉⲛ ⲧⲟⲧ means here the title 'tot of Ome', where Ome would be a toponym, or the filiation 'son of Ome'.

Reading of the name corrected by G. Ochała.
Both editors transcribed ⲧⲛⲱⲧⲁ, but there is no such name and no form can be recognised behind it. It is much more probable that they misread the ⲧ for a ⲅ, or that the lapicide misspelled the name.

Reading of the name corrected by G. Ochała.
Mina read ⲁⲩⲍⲁⲛⲉ, but in Nubian palaeography, the zeta is very simialr to the ksi, hence the correct reading should be ⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ.

Comment
Reading of the name corrected by G. Ochała.
The reading ⲏϭⲡⲁϩⲉ proposed by both Monneret de Villard and Mina is phonetically highly unlikely. It seems, instead, that the second letter was either misspelled by the scribe or misintepreted by the editors and that in fact we are dealing here with a sigma, not with a ky. This is all the more probable since the form ⲉⲓⲥⲡⲁϩⲉ is attested in another stela from Sakinya (DBMNT 126; Ref 702626).
