Corinth: the synagogue lintel and the meat market
Corinth has a synagogue inscription and an excavated meat market — the two institutions Paul's Corinthian correspondence assumes.
Підтверджено розкопкамиНапис1st–3rd century AD
A broken stone lintel from the road to the harbour reads "[Syna]gogue of the Hebr[ews]". Nearby, the excavated market building carries a Latin inscription for the macellum — the meat market Paul mentions when writing to the city about food sold there.
Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

Що вона показує
The lintel is probably later than Paul's stay; it shows a Jewish community with a synagogue on that road, not the building he taught in.
