1 This presumably Greek name is not attested in Lüddeckens, Demotisches Namenbuch (1979-2000). 2 For this name, if interpreted correctly, see Lüddeckens, Demotisches Namenbuch (1979-2000), 930. 3 I am indebted for the reading of this part to the participiants of the Demotic Summer School 2018 in München. |
