Seaport town and district in Mysia, in the north-west of Asia Minor: it was visited by Paul on his journeys to and from Macedonia. On one occasion he abode there seven days, and raised Eutychus to life when, the disciples having come together “to break bread,” Paul preached till midnight (Acts 16:8, 11; Acts 20:5-6; 2 Cor. 2:12; 2 Tim. 4:13). It is now called Eski-Stamboul; there are many ruins of the ancient city (called Alexandria Troas), which was the chief port of the traffic from Macedonia.
