Exegesis
The clause opens with the articular subject phrase he de Maria {ἡ δὲ Μαρία | hē dè María}, where the postpositive de links to the preceding narrative and shifts emphasis.
The appositional article–noun he Magdalēnē {ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ | hē Magdalēnḗ} yields “Mary Magdalene,” distinguishing her identity.
The coordinated phrase kai Maria hē Iōsētōs {καὶ Μαρία ἡ Ἰωσῆτος | kaí María hē Iōsētōs} parallels that structure to present “Mary, the mother of Joses,” with the genitive of relationship specifying her familial tie.
Root and etymology
Magdalamu–alpha–gamma–delta–alpha–lambda–alpha
