The Definition of the word Troas

Troas

A city on the coast of Mysia, in the north-west of Asia Minor, "named after ancient Troy, which was at some little distance from" "it (about 4 miles) to the north. Here Paul, on his second" "missionary journey, saw the vision of a "man of Macedonia," who" "appeared to him, saying, "Come over, and help us" (Acts" "16:8-11). He visited this place also on other occasions, and on" one of these visits he left his cloak and some books there (2 Cor. 2:12; 2 Tim. 4:13). The ruins of Troas extend over many "miles, the site being now mostly covered with a forest of oak" "trees. The modern name of the ruins is Eski Stamboul i.e., Old" Constantinople.
