In Acts 16:7, the accusative singular form occurs where the travelers had come to the place before attempting to go into Bithynia; the APB renders the clause “When they had come to Mysia.” In Acts 16:8, the same form occurs as they pass by the place and go down to Troas; the APB renders “So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Mysia” in both verses, first as the place the travelers had come to and then as the place they passed by. The verse is read as a whole.
