I would guess that the -ph- spelling is because the New Testament was written in Greek. It would truly amaze me if Aramaic, which is a Semitic language, had the same spelling convention.

In English we spell it Cephas, still with an S sound at the beginning! What does it look like in the Spanish translation?
