Σαλήμ
ἡ κέρκος τῇ ἀλώπεκι μαρτυρεῖ → you can tell a fox by its tail, small traits give the clue to the character of a person
English (Strong)
of Hebrew origin (שָׁלֵם); Salem (i.e. Shalem), a place in Palestine: Salem.
English (Thayer)
ἡ (Heb. שָׁלֵם), Salem: Winer, Hitzig, Knobel, Delitzsch) think is the ancient name of the city of Jerusalem, appealing to the words of סֻכּו בְּשָׁלֵם וַיְהִי, and Josephus, Antiquities 1,10, 2 τήν μέντοι Σολυμα ὕστερον ἐκάλεσαν Ἱεροσόλυμα; cf. b. j. 6,10. But more correctly (yet cf. B. D. under the word Smith's Bible Dictionary, Salem, and under the word Smith's Bible Dictionary, Melchizedek under the end) others (as Rosenmüller, Bleek, Tuch, Roediger in Gesenius Thesaurus under the word, p. 1422, Dillmann), relying on the testimony of Jerome (Ep. ad Evangelum § 7i. e.) Epistle 73in Vallarsi's edition of his works, i., p. 446), hold that it is the same as Σαλείμ (which see). For the ancient name of Jerusalem was יְבוּס (B. D. American edition, under the word Smith's Bible Dictionary, Jebus)), and the form of the name in Sept. εἰρήνη) is to be regarded as poetic, signifying 'safe.'
