“Miriam, Daughter of Yeshua, Son of Caiaphas”
A detailed examination of the alternative translations and authenticity can be found here: Dr Robert Cargill’s blog, KV8R
The ossuary includes the Aramaic inscription, which appears to read:
מרים ברת ישוע בר קיפא כהני מעזיה דבית עמרי
which translates:
“Miriam, Daughter of Yeshua, Son of Caiaphas,
Priests of Ma’aziah from Beth ‘Imri”
or
מרים ברת ישוע בר קיפא כהן דמעזיה דבית עמרי
which translates:
“Miriam, Daughter of Yeshua, Son of Caiaphas,
Priest of Ma’aziah from Beth ‘Imri”
or, as Jack Kilmon suggests
“Miriam, Daughter of Yeshua Bar Qayafa,
Priest of (the course of) Ma’aziah of the House of ‘Omri”
