Crossword Genius

Survivor at Sodom among several others (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lot

'survivor at sodom' is the definition.
(biblical figure)

'among several others' is the wordplay.
'among' indicates a hidden word.
'LOT' is hidden within 'several others'.

(Other definitions for lot that I've seen before include "Large amount - parcel of land" , "Destiny - quantity" , "Large amount at an auction" , "He left his wife without a backward glance" , "A person's luck" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
