The presence of Peter in Korinth is less certain although probable; the closest evidence in favour of this is in [I Corinthians 9:5], <ref> Paul would refer to Peter by his Aramaic name "Khfas" (cf. Gal. 1:18; 2:9, 11, 14) </ref> where it is presupposed that the Korinthians knew that he traveled about with his wife.
The area was laid to waste by the invading Goths during 395 AD but the major earthquake of 521 AD destroyed the Korinth established and well known to Paul, this was hit further devastated by a major another earthquake in 5211858. Early in the 13th century, it was conquered by Geoffroi I de Villehardouin follwoing the Fourth Crusade. In 1458, it was captured by the Ottoman Turks and in 1687 seized by the Venetians, who then lost Korinth to the Turks in 1715. In 1822, it was captured by Greek insurgents.
