Now the box may not have the remains of Jesus’ brother, but that aside, we do know that Jesus had brothers and sisters, of the biological kind ... :-) ...

See Post #14 and 21 ...

I never studied ancient Greek so I’ll take the word of an old archaeology professor that terms of relationship are not necessarily exactly translated.
Even if it were true that Jesus had brothers and sisters as we know that term, we do know he had many more disciples who called themselves his brother. The odds would be that the ossuary belonged to the latter group.

Mary had no other children. She was a perpetual Virgin.
