Thayer's Greek Lexicon
Θεσσαλονίκη, -ἡς, ἡ, Thessalonica (now Saloniki), a celebrated and populous city, situated on the Thermaic Gulf, the capital of the second [ (there were four ; ef. Liv. xlv. 29)] division of Macedoaia and the residence of a Roman governor and quaestor. It was anciently called Therme, but was rebuilt by Cassander, the son of Antipater, and called by its new name [which first appears in Polyb. 23, 11, 2] in honor of his wife Thessalonica, the sister of Alexander the Great; cf. Strabo 7, 330. Here Paul the apostle founded a Christian church: Acts xvii. 1, 11, 13; Phil. iv. 16; 2 Tim. iv. 10. [BB. DD. y.; Lewin, St. Paul, i. 225 sqq.]
