Lintel of Synagogue at Corinth
On the Lechaion
Road at the foot the steps leading to the proplyon, was discovered in
1898 what appears to be the lintel of the doorway into the synagogue
at Corinth. The inscription on the lintel reads, "The Synagogue
of the Hebrews," and possibly dates from the time of Paul's visits
to Corinth. Since the lintel is quite heavy it is probable that the
synagogue was situated in the vicinity in which it was discovered, which
means that the synagogue was on or near the Lechaion Road not far from
the agora. Titius Justus's house was somewhere nearby (Acts 18:7). |
