Comment
Wojciechowski (2011, pp. 273, 279, 281, 289) considers this man to be identical with Dauids from DBMNT 582 (Ref 702059; Per 602059) and DBMNT 1001 (Ref 701196; Per 601196); this is his David II. He does not give any arguments for that, however, and since there are no clear links visible in the texts, they are treated here as separate persons.
