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.
