Thayer's Greek Lexicon
Κόρινθος, -ov, ἡ, Corinth, the metropolis of Achaia proper, situated on the isthmus of the Peloponnesus between the Aigean and Ionian Seas (hence called bimaris, Ilor. car. 1, 7, 2; Ovid. metam. 5, 407), and having two harbors, one of which called Cenchre (see Keyypeai) was the roadstead for ships from Asia, the other, called Lechzon or Lechzum, for ships from Italy. It was utterly destroyed by L. Mummius, the Roman consul, in the Achzan war, B. c. 146; but after the lapse of a century it was rebuilt by Julius Caesar [B. c. 44]. It was eminent in commerce and wealth, in literature and the arts, especially the study of rhetoric and philosophy; but it was notorious also for luxury and moral corruption, particularly the foul worship of Venus. Paul came to the city in his second missionary journey, [6.7 A. Ρ. 53 or 54, and founded there a Christian church: Acts xviii. 1; xix.1; 1 Co. i. 2; 2Co.i. 1,23; 2 Tim.iv.20. [BB. DD. s. v.; Dict. of Geogr. s. v.; Lewin, St. Paul, i. 269 - sqq-]
