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.
