Colonae (Kolonai) or Colone, a town in the Troad, 140 stadia from
Ilium. (Strab. pp. 589, 604; Thuc. i. 131; Xen. Hell. iii. 1. 13; Paus. x. 14.
§ 1.) According to tradition, Colonae was in early times the residence of a Thracian
prince Cycnus, who possessed the adjoining country and the island of Tenedos,
opposite to which Colonae was situated on the mainland. Colonae was probably one
of the towns from which the inhabitants were removed to supply the population
of Alexandria in Troas. Pliny (v. 30) places it in the interior, and speaks of
it as one of the places that had disappeared.
