The text in my UBS (3rd edition) for this verse is: ASPASASQE ANDRONIKON 
KAI IOUNIAN TOUS SUGGENEIS MOU KAU SUNAICMALWTOUS MOU...

My question is this:  the nominative form of the second individual 
mentioned must be either IOUNIAS (masc) or IOUNIA (fem).  But I can't 
tell from the text which it is.  Does the form IOUNIAN (with a 
circumflex accent on the final alpha) give us a hint somehow about the 
gender of the person referred to?  Is there some modern scholarship that 
would be helpful on this point?

thanks
