Alexandria in Troas: town founded by Alexander the Great. http://www.livius.org/aj-al/alexandria/alexandria_troas.html. According to Strabo: Both Larisa and Colonae used to be adjacent to the Achaeïum, formerly being on the part of the mainland that belonged to the Tenedians; and then one comes to the present Chrysa, which was founded on a rocky height above the sea, and to Hamaxitus, which lies below Lectum and adjacent to it. At the present time Alexandreia is adjacent to the Achaeïum; and those other towns, like several others of the strongholds, have been incorporated with Alexandreia, among them Cebrene and Neandria; and Alexandreia holds their territory. But the site on which Alexandreia now lies used to be called Sigia. In Roman times, it was a port used for travelling between Anatolia and Europe as we know from Paul of Tarsus. Acts 16:8-11..
