Can anyone identify this greek text on the wall of a pizza s

[Zisha Wein]

I came across this wallpaper on the wall of a pizza shop in NY and it seems to me to be from the NT but I dont know exactly where.
I've been able to identify the words συναγωγ? and αρχι

Have a look at this link and see if you can figure it out. There is some glare on the left side obscuring the σ from συναγωγ?

Ha ha. No need for a prize. It was just a simple search engine image search. It is a picture of an inscription, it's written in Greek, and it mentions synagogue, so I searched for "synagogue inscription Greek", then looking for a match between the image in the pizzeria and one in the search. No rocket science there. Total time including posting the cut-and-paste reply was 45 seconds. Zisha's simple "Thank you" is more than adequate.

Anyway, would any NY pizza shops (πιτσαρία - Modern Greek) deliver (παραδῷ + dative) to me here in rural China? I guess not...

That being said, I doooo love a good pizza (πίτσα - Modern Greek).

Besides cheese (τυρός), my favourite toppings (συστατικόν lit. ingredient I'd use this for "topping" if I were to design my own pizza with just these toppings, or I'd just use μέρος, τό if I were to say which toppings I like best on a pizza with other toppings already combined, like on a Super Supreme) are anchovies (μεμβράς), olives (ἐλαία) and a smattering of onion (κρόμμυον).
