It is worth noting that in some instances the foreign words did not acquire
the Greek/Latin ending. This is particularly evident in Palestine - names
such as:
KapHarnaum
Hierosyle:m / Ieru:sale:m
Be:tHsaida
BetHlehem
Genne:saret
and so on. Religious reverence can't be the reason here - these were the
normal names of those places as used by secular Greeks.
