Names of the divine beings of 82r

The image at the bottom of page 82r consists of three groups of nymphs representing characters from Greek mythology: two representations of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., each accompanied by a small nymph, and the group of three Charites or Graces.
The nymphs in the left and right groups have individual labels, the middle group of two nymphs has a single label.

Except the first label on the left «sororl» which could be Latin, the other four can be understood using the Greek dictionary.
The label for the first Aphrodite on the left, olko.ky EVA, would be Ανανη of ανανεω – come to the surface or of ανανεομαι – mount up – Aphrodite rising from the sea.
The label of middle Aphrodite, sokoly EVA, would be Ζωναια, epithet of Aphrodite, celestial goddess, member of ζωναῖοι, an order of divine beings managing the different zones of the Universe.
The labels of three Charites would be:
  • dolol – tola for θαλεια – rich, plentiful
  • ol.aiin– awn for Αως – dawn, light of day,
  • okeear–oneiar for ονειαρ – food, victuals.
The meaning of these labels corresponds well, in my opinion, to the meaning of the names of three Charites: θαλεια, Euphrosyne and Αγλαια. 
The nymph Tola (Taula?), the oldest, would be θαλεια; the middle, youngest nymph, Aws (Awn) would be Aglaia- brightness, and the nymph on the right, Oniar, would be Euphrosyne- good food.

Could these labels help us to identify the language of the text, in your opinion?
