Comment
Papi's designation (ⲉⲓⲟⲛⲛⲅⲁⲛ ⲧⲟⲧ) can be understood as either a title (tot of Ionngal) or filiation (son of Ionngal). Ionngal has so far been attested as neither toponym nor anthroponym, but the fact that the element ⲉⲓⲟⲛ- is found elsewhere in Nubian onomastics speaks in favour of the latter solution. See Ref 703516.
