Comment
Gender not specified.
It is uncertain whether this is a double proper name or another kind of formation. Alternatives include 'dauther of Tamiti', 'asti ofTamit' (title + toponym), 'asti of Tamit' (teritorrial unit). The two last interpretations seem a little more probable given the obvious resemblance of ⲧⲁⲙⲧ- with the toponym Tamit. Note that described saqiya is in Tamit East.
