Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For the declension of this place-name see Thackeray Gr. i. p. 68. It may be noted that the wall-scratchings Sodoma, Gomora in Pompeii (see A. Mau Pompeji in Leben und Kunst, Leipzig, 1900, p. 15 : Engl. Tr. p. 17) may be taken as a trace of Christianity in that town, as well as a prophecy of its end : cf. Nestle ZNTW v. (1904), p. 167 f.
