The box is dated during the time of James' death (63 A.D.) and the
inscription is written in aramaic, which was the language spoken by Jesus.
For a brother's name to be inscribed on a box of the deceased means that the
brother has to be, in fact, the brother of the deceased, and/or one of great
prominence, special in some way, or the person being the one to bury the
deceased.
