From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Cenchrea
     millet, the eastern harbour of Corinth, from which it was
     distant about 9 miles east, and the outlet for its trade with
     the Asiatic shores of the Mediterranean. When Paul returned from
     his second missionary journey to Syria, he sailed from this port
     (Acts 18:18). In Rom. 16:1 he speaks as if there were at the


     time of his writing that epistle an organized church there. The
     western harbour of Corinth was Lechaeum, about a mile and a half
     from the city. It was the channel of its trade with Italy and
     the west.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:

  Cenchrea, millet; small pulse
