Since the inscription on a previously found ossuary thought to belong to the high priest himself calls him Yehosef bar Caiapha, or Joseph, son of Caiaphas, * Miriam was related to Caiaphas in some way.
Kuna ühe varem leitud, arvatavasti selle ülempreestri enda säilmekirstu peale on graveeritud nimi Jehosef bar Kaiafa (Joosep, Kaifase poeg) *, siis on selge, et Mirjam oli mingit moodi Kaifase sugulane.
