Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(Troad). Alexandria Troas, or in the Troad, was an important city in Mysia, Asia Minor, 6 miles south of the entrance to the Hellespont and 4 from the site of Ancient Troy. It was founded by Alexander the Great and was for many centuries the key of commerce between Europe and Asia. Paul visited it more than once (Acts 16:8-11; 20:5-10; 2 Tim. 4:13).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
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.
