Note 7 at Acts 16:8: The name Troas meant the region around Troy, the famous city of Homer's writings. It was actually located south of Troy. Troas was a seaport where Paul had his Macedonian vision. Paul stayed in Troas for seven days on his third missionary journey too (Acts 20:6), and while in prison, he asked Timothy to bring the cloak that he had left in Troas (2 Tim. 4:13).
