COLOSSE, OR COLOSSE

COLOS'SE, OR COLOS'SE, a city of Phrygia, on the Lycus, a branch of the Maeander, and 12 miles above Laodicea. Paul wrote to the church there, Col 1:2, and possibly visited it on his third missionary journey. See Acts 18:23; Acts 19:10. The town is now in ruins; there is a little village called Chronos 3 miles south of the site of Colosse.
