- Reading of the name corrected by G. Ochała.
The reading ⲏϭⲡⲁϩⲉ proposed by both Monneret de Villard and Mina is phonetically highly unlikely. It seems, instead, that the second letter was either misspelled by the scribe or misintepreted by the editors and that in fact we are dealing here with a sigma, not with a ky. This is all the more probable since the form ⲉⲓⲥⲡⲁϩⲉ is attested in another stela from Sakinya (DBMNT 126; Ref 702626).
