2 The reading of this name is not entirely clear. Cf. the Demotic versions of the Greek name Ἓρμων cf. LÜDDECKENS, Demotisches Namenbuch (1979-2000), 760 – 761, but without the final –s. Possibly the scribe confused this name with Ἑρμίας, Demotic Hrmꜣys (LÜDDECKENS, Demotisches Namenbuch (1979-2000), 765).
