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). |
