Colos'se, or Colas'sae
City on the river Lycus in Phrygia of Asia Minor. Col 1:2. It appears as though Paul had not visited the city when he wrote the epistle to the church there, cf. Col 1:7; 2:1; but he may have done so in his journeys or have gone thither from Ephesus. He hoped to visit them soon, Phm 1:22, for to this place Philemon and Onesimus belonged. Col 4:9. Colosse had been a place of importance, but declined on the rise of Hierapolis and Laodicea. The modern village Khonas is about three miles distant from the ancient ruins.
