Comment
The title of Masi is rendered by Browne as ⳟⲟⲡⲕⲟⲇⲇⲉ ⲥⲕ̄ⲕⲟⲧⲗ̄ⲇⲉⲕⲉⲛ ⲣ̄ⲧ, but, taking into account the titles ⳟⲁⲛ ⳟⲟⲕⲕⲟ⸌ⲛ⸍ ⲣⲧ and ⳟⲟⲕⲕⲟⲛ ⲣⲧ occurring in DBMNT 581 and 582 (for different individuals, Papon Iroti and Douddil), one can suppose that ⳟⲟⲡⲕⲟⲇⲇⲉ should be corrected to ⳟⲟⲕⲕⲟⲇⲇⲉ also here. If indeed this is a mistake, it may be either a scribal error or misreading on the part of Browne.
