For the Egyptian fabric of those funerary vases, see [...]. The graffiti should be at least partly an epitaph.

In a) the photograph shows very clearly Βαρκαίωι, so we may suppose that both the dead and the curator were called Βαρκαῖος. Alternatively, another possibility would be a hypercorrect genitive ending in -ωι, a feature otherwise known only in the Imperial period. If so, the second Barkaios would be the father's name of the first.

The iota at the end of c) has an unclear purpose and the graffito b) is meaningless.
