<p> [[Cenchrea]] or Cenchreae. Now Kikries; from [[Greek]] Κenchri , "the millet," a grain abounding there. The harbor of [[Corinth]] on the Saronic gulf, and its channel of trade with [[Asia]] Minor, as Lechaeum, on the [[Corinthian]] gulf, was with [[Italy]] and the W. Corinth was joined by walls to Lechaeum; so that the pass between Corinth and Cenchrea (nine miles apart from one another) was the only one into the [[Morea]] from Greece. [[Paul]] sailed from Cenchrea, returning to [[Syria]] from his second missionary journey (Acts 18:18), after having shorn his head there in fulfillment of a vow. He wrote to the Romans in his third journey, and alludes to the church at Cenchrea, of which [[Phoebe]] was "deaconess" (Greek Romans 16:1). </p> | |||

<p> Cen'chrea or Cenchre'a. (Accurately Cenchre'ae). (millet). The eastern harbor of Corinth, (that is, its harbor on the Saronic Gulf), and the emporium of its trade with the [[Asiatic]] shores of the Mediterranean, as Lechaeum on the Crointhian [[Gulf]] connected it with [[Italy]] and the west. St. [[Paul]] sailed from Cenchrae, Acts 18:18, on his return to [[Syria]] from his second missionary journey. An organized church seems to have been formed here. Romans 16:1. </p> | |||
