And they passed by Mysia
Without stopping or staying there, though they came to it:
came down to Troas;
either the country of Troas, as the Syriac version renders it;
which, according to Solinus F13, is bordered on the north
part of Galatia, and was near to Lycaonia, Pisidia, and Mygdonia
on the south, and to Lydia on the east, and to Mysia and Caria on
the north: or rather the city of Troas, which Pliny says {n}, was
formerly called Antigonia, now Alexandria, a colony of the
Romans. Antigonus king of Asia called it Troas at first, because
it was in the country, and near where Troy stood, but afterwards
he called it, according to his own name, Antigonia; but
Lysimachus king of Thrace having got this city into his hands,
repaired it, and called it after the name of Alexander,
Alexandria; and to distinguish it from Alexandria in Egypt, and
other cities of the same name in other places, it was called
Alexandria Troas.
