Miryam ben Yaakov

Sounds suspicious to me. :>)

The only thing I can think of...

Since this is about the time of a destruction, then could it be a Mosaic Law convention for the case of a surviving daughter of a deceased man with no remaining sons?

Good catch. It probably says "Bat" (daughter of) rather than "Ben."
