Or Colassae Colosse <ref name="term_65613" />
<p> City on the river [[Lycus]] in [[Phrygia]] of Asia Minor. &nbsp;Colossians 1:2 . It appears as though Paul had not visited the city when he wrote the epistle to the church there, cf. &nbsp;Colossians 1:7; &nbsp;Colossians 2:1; but he may have done so in his journeys or have gone thither from Ephesus. He hoped to visit them soon, &nbsp;Philippians 22 , for to this place Philemon and [[Onesimus]] belonged. &nbsp;Colossians 4:9 . [[Colosse]] had been a place of importance, but declined on the rise of [[Hierapolis]] and Laodicea. The modern village <i> Khonas </i> is about three miles distant from the ancient ruins. </p>
