Kenhhrea
Kirjeldus
Korintose sadamalinn idapoolse maakitsuse ääres (vt. KORINTOS). Siin, vastavalt Apostlite teod [Ap 18:18 ], lasi Paulus oma juuksed lõigata enne Süüria poole purjetamist, kuna tal oli tõotus. Kohalik kogudus pidi seal olema asutatud Pauluse poolt, kuna Phoebe, Kenkreia diakoniss, usaldati Rooma kirja toimetamisega ja apostel kiitis teda neile kõige kõrgemates sõnades, andes neile käsu "aidata teda igas asjas, mida ta vajab" ([Rm 16:1 -2]).

Cenchrea
millet, the eastern harbour of Corinth, from which it was distant about 9 miles east, and the outlet for its trade with the Asiatic shores of the Mediterranean. When Paul returned from his second missionary journey to Syria, he sailed from this port (Acts 18:18). In (Rom 16:1) he speaks as if there were at the time of his writing that epistle an organized church there. The western harbour of Corinth was Lechaeum, about a mile and a half from the city. It was the channel of its trade with Italy and the west.
