Cities, Countries, and People; names that have the letter C

Cities, Countries, and People; names that have the letter C. Every C in the names of the Bible is evidence of the Latin used for early English translations. The Hebrew and Greek alphabets do not have the letter C. Caesar, Caiphas, Cain, Caleb, Canaan, Candace, Capernaum, Cana, Cephas, Claudius (emperor), Colossi, Corinth, Cyrene, and Samothrace (Samothraken) are just examples. Every personal name and every place name with the letter c anywhere in it is evidence of the Latin origin of English translations. Those words have never been corrected, but persist to remind us of the power of tradition.
