Comment
I. Mina 315 transcribes a strange sign at the beginning of the name, which can also be found in the tracing. The sign could be sigma and tau in ligature (cf. ligatured epsilon, tau, and iota in the next line), thus the actual name would be Staurosa. The photo, however, is blurred in this place and only a tau can be discerned, which is why the name I transcribe here is Taurosa rather than Staurosa.

The gender of Ptoou is not specified, but since the name of Marianta's other parent is Mariam, Ptoou has to be a masculine name.
