The inscriptions on the ossuaries found in the Talpiot Tomb in 1980 by a bulldozer read as follows:
Ossuary 80/500: �Mariamene e Mara� � �Mariamne, also called Master�
Ossuary 80/501: �Yehuda bar Yeshua� � �Judah, son of Jesus�
Ossuary 80/502: �Matia� � �Matthew�
Ossuary 80/503 �Yeshua bar Yosef� � �Jesus, Son of Joseph�
Ossuary 80/504 �Yose� or �Yosa� � a nickname for �Joseph�
Ossuary 80/505: �Maria� � a Latinized version of the Hebrew �Miriam.�
Of the ten ossuaries pulled from the niches of the burial chamber, inscriptions were recorded as occurring on six, a very high ratio considering that only 20% of the thousands of ossuaries ever found bear such inscriptions.
Ossuaries 80/506-508 were plain, with no inscriptions.
And no one knows anything really about Ossuary 80/509. It disappeared before it could be checked for inscriptions or ornamentation.
