Explanation: This is the genitive form of the proper noun 'Alphaeus'. Alphaeus was a common Jewish name in the New Testament period. It is most notably associated with the father of James (one of the twelve apostles) and also with the father of Levi, who is also known as Matthew (the tax collector and apostle). The genitive case indicates possession or origin, so 'of Alphaeus' means 'belonging to Alphaeus' or 'son of Alphaeus'.
