In the first century, the Greek geographer Strabo wrote: “Corinth is called ‘ wealthy ’ because of its commerce, since it is situated on the Isthmus and is master of two harbours, of which the one leads straight to Asia, and the other to Italy; and it makes easy the exchange of merchandise from both countries. ”
Kreeka geograaf Strabon kirjutas esimesel sajandil: „Korintost nimetatakse ’ jõukaks ’ selle kaubanduse pärast, kuna see asub Isthmose maakitsusel ja selle valduses on kaks sadamat, millest üks viib otse Aasiasse ja teine Itaaliasse, ning see muudab mõlema maaga kaubavahetuse kergeks. ”
