    There were 12 Apostles, and then Paul, and that's it. Junia was not an Apostle, but she was renown among the 12, meaning she was famous among the 12 for her work. And there are no more apostles.

    "He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve... After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles." (1 Cor. 15.5,7).

    All of the apostles includes the Twelve plus other Apostles at the time such as Junias. Thayer's Lexicon refers to Junia as "a women's name...and the name occurs again in Rom. 16.15": "Salute Philologus, and Julia" (v.15).

    It is a strange way to speak to say "who are of note among the apostles". Normally when you are among, you are included in that group. For your view to be true, you would read it: "are notable to the apostles".
