Bibliography & list of abbreviations - Comment
- The deceased is described by the feminine form ⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲟⲩⲗⲏⲥ, indicating that ⲓⲁⲛⲛⲟⲩ is a female name here. TM People classifies Iannou as a form of the Hebrew male name Iannes (NAM 9606), but analogous forms (ⲓⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ, ⲓⲁⲛⲛⲉ, etc.) are interpreted as variants of Ioannes. It seems more probable that the same interpretation should be applied here as well, especially if we compare it with the use of the name Stephanou for women at Sakinya (REF 702395, 702630, and 703115).
