Gender not specified.
It is uncertain whether this is a double proper name or another kind of formation. Alternatives include 'dauther of Parki', 'asti of Parki' (title + toponym), 'asti of Parki' (teritorrial unit). The two last interpretations seem a little more probable given the original topographic meaning of the word ⲡⲁⲣⲕ-, that is 'valley, depression'.
