Cleophas

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Cleophas
     (in the spelling of this word _h_ is inserted by mistake from
     Latin MSS.), rather Cleopas, which is the Greek form of the
     word, while Clopas is the Aramaic form. In John 19:25 the
     Authorized Version reads, "Mary, the wife of Clopas." The word
     "wife" is conjecturally inserted here. If "wife" is rightly


     inserted, then Mary was the mother of James the Less, and Clopas
     is the same as Alphaeus (Matt. 10:3; 27:56).
