(资料来自http://www.bibleplaces.com/corinth.htm,翻译的不好大家见笑了。)

Corinth Excavations(古城遗址)
圣经地名介绍:
This is the view of the ancient city center looking from the Acrocorinth (with a big telephoto lens). On the left the standing columns of the Temple of Apollo are visible. On the right side the Lechaion Road can be seen. In between the two (and slightly down) is the ancient agora.

这是从哥林多卫城看下去的古城中心。照片左边的阿波罗神庙的石柱依然挺立。右边可以看见勒凯翁大道,在两者之间的就是古老的希腊集市。
Temple of Apollo(阿波罗神庙)
圣经地名介绍:
The lower city was the location of the Temple of Apollo while the Acrocorinth was dominated by the Temple of Aphrodite. Greek writers in the 5th-4th centuries B.C. characterized Corinth as a city of commercialized love and a 'Corinthian girl' meant a prostitute. The Corinthian church of Paul's day struggled with worldliness and sexual sin, both of which were typical of this cosmopolitan city. The temple originally had 38 columns of the Doric order; 7 are standing today.
当哥林多卫城被阿芙罗狄蒂神庙占据时,阿波罗神庙就位于山下的城市中。公元前五到四世纪的古希腊作家们把哥林多描述成性爱交易之城和“哥林多女孩”(娼妓的意思)。保罗时代的哥林多教会就与世俗和淫乱苦苦争斗,而这两样都是这个国际化大都市的典型特点。神庙原来有38根柱子都为陶立克式建筑,其中7根如今依然挺立。
Bema(公堂)
圣经地名介绍:
Paul spent 18 months in the city before the Jews of the city charged him with breaking the law and brought him before Gallio at the city's place of judgment (bema). The mention of Gallio provides an anchor for New Testament chronology as we know from Roman sources that Gallio was proconsul of Achaia from June 51 to May 52. Standing on this platform, the proconsul dismissed the charges against Paul as a dispute of Jewish law and not of a criminal nature.
保罗在这个城市住了18个月,直到被犹太人控告。犹太人指控他违反律法并将他带到公堂(bema)里的迦流面前。迦流的被提及,为新约的时间表提供了一个坐标,因为根据罗马的资料显示迦流在亚该亚当总督是从公元51年6月到公元52年5月。由于是关于犹太律法的辩论而不是犯罪,在此高台上,这位总督撤销了对保罗的指控。
Northern Agora(北部古希腊集市)
圣经地名介绍:
In Corinth Paul met Aquila and Priscilla, Jews recently expelled by Emperor Claudius from Rome. The three of these were tentmakers (or leather workers) and may have had their place of business in the city's commercial marketplace (agora). This would have afforded Paul numerous occasions to speak with customers and passers-by of the resurrection of Christ. Acts notes that Paul spent each Shabbat trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.
在哥林多,保罗遇到了亚居拉和百基拉,犹太人当时被罗马皇帝革老丢驱逐离开了罗马。他们三人都是制造帐篷的(或者都是制造皮革的),也许在城里的贸易市场(agora)中就有他们的摊位。这或许也给了保罗很多与顾客和旅人讲述耶稣遭遇的机会。使徒行传中记载保罗每逢安息日,就在会堂里辩论,劝化犹太人和希腊人。
Lechaion Road (勒凯翁大道)
圣经地名介绍:
This main road ran from the city to the northern port of Lechaion, thus its name. The road was about 40 feet wide and included sidewalks and drainage channels. Steps along the road indicate that passage was not intended for wheeled vehicles.
这条主干道将城市连往北面的勒凯翁港,就是大道的名字。大道宽40英尺,还建有人行道和排水通道。沿街的台阶表明这条道路不是为车马准备的。
Erastus Inscription(伊拉斯塔斯碑文)
圣经地名介绍:
In 1929 this inscription was found mentioning Erastus as the one who paid for the paving of the street in return for his appointment as a city officer. It is likely that this is the same Erastus mentioned by Paul as sending greetings to the church at Rome (Rom 16:23). If so, Paul's influence apparently extended to wealthy and influential Roman citizens of Corinth.
1929发现的石碑上提到了伊拉斯塔斯,是他提供钱财修建了街道,作为答谢他成为了该城的官员。很有可能这个伊拉斯塔斯就是保罗问罗马教会安中提到的那个以拉古(罗16:23如果是的话,说明保罗的影响力显然已经远及了哥林多城中富贵有名望的罗马公民。
Temple of Aphrodite(阿芙罗狄蒂神庙)
圣经地名介绍:
The acropolis of Corinth is known as Acrocorinth, and it rises about 1800 feet above the surrounding plain. At the highest summit was the Temple of Aphrodite. Interpretations that this was the location of the 1000 temple prostitutes have been challenged.
这是哥林多的卫城,坐落在比周围平原高1800英尺的山上,山顶上就是阿芙罗狄蒂神庙了。要说明的是,这里正好是1000名庙妓储藏的地方。
