Note 1 at Acts 20:13: Assos was a seaport of Mysia (see note 4 at Acts 16:7, p. 666) located a short distance southwest of Troas (see note 7 at Acts 16:8, p. 666). The coastal road from Troas to Assos which Paul probably traveled was about twenty miles. An early geographer named Strabo described the port of Assos as being on a steep hillside of over 700 feet. Aristotle resided in a Platonic school of philosophy in Assos.
