Exegesis
The coordinated subject group is expressed by three nominative phrases in sequence: Maria hē Magdalēnē {Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ | María hē Magdalēnḗ}, Maria hē tou Iakōbou {Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου | María hē tou Iakṓbou}, kai Salōmē {καὶ Σαλώμη | kaí Salṓmē}, with the article plus genitive construction hē tou Iakōbou identifying the second Mary relationally as “the one of James,” that is, his mother.
In context — Mark 16:1
And after the Sabbath had passed, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that, after they had come, they might anoint Him .
