Comment
Gender not specified.
This is probably variant of the name Iesousinta. The gender of the person is not indicated in the text, but judging by other examples of names formed with the suffix -inta/-anta (eg. Marianta, Menanta, Michenta, Petrosinta, which all belong to women) it is feminine.
This is most proabably the same person as in Ref 703127.

Comment
Despite correctly stating the deceased's gender in her presentation (ll. 7–8), the redactor of the text consistently refers to her as if she were a man (ⲁϥⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ, ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ).
