Mysia (Μυσία, Mysia). A region in northwest Asia Minor. Paul passed through on his second missionary journey but did not stop to preach until he reached Troas on the coast (Acts 16:7–8; 16:6–10).
Mysia’s boundaries extended northward to the Sea of Marmara (called the Propontis in ancient times), eastward to Bithynia and Phrygia, southward to Lydia, and westward to the Hellespont and the Aegean Sea. Its main cities—Pergamum, Assos, Troas, and Adramyttium—are mentioned in the New Testament. In 133 bc it was acquired by the Romans and subsequently became part of the Roman province of Asia.
