This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
61. ἡ ἄλλη Μαρία. The mother of James the less (or little, ὁ μικρός) and Joses (Mar 15:47).

τοῦ τάφου. St Matthew is the only writer in the N.T. who uses the word τάφος (Rom 3:13 is a quotation): τάφος is strictly, the place where the dead is ‘laid or put away with care.’ See Curtius, Etym. 502. The Jews preferred to call the tomb ‘a memorial’ (μνημεῖον).
