{Passing by Mysia} (parelthontes t(886e) Musian). Literally,
passing alongside or skirting Mysia, neglecting it without
preaching there. Strictly they passed through part of it to reach
Troas. {To Troas} (eis Troiada). This city, named Alexandria
Troas after Alexander the Great, was the seaport of Mysia, though
a Roman colony and not counted as part of either Asia or
Bithynia. New Ilium, on the site of the old Troy, was four miles
farther north. It was the place to take ship for Philippi. Twice
again Paul will be here ( 2Co 2:12  Ac 20:6 ).
