The forms mark the same named location in movements and stays: in Acts 16:8 the APB renders that travelers “went down to Troas,” while Acts 16:11 renders departure “from Troas.” In Acts 20:5 and Acts 20:6 it is the place of staying and arrival; 2 Corinthians 2:12 places a coming there in connection with the gospel, and 2 Timothy 4:13 identifies where a cloak, books, and parchments were left.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term consistently as “Troas” across the supplied verses, within clauses of going, sailing, arriving, staying, coming, and leaving possessions. These renderings confirm the verse settings rather than isolate every grammatical contribution.
