In 396 B.C., during the Persian Wars, the Persian satrap Tissaphernes was lured to Colossae and slain by an agent of the party of Cyrus. It does not appear that was the founder of the Colossian Church (see Col. 1:7; 4:12). This town fell into decay (possibly due to an earthquake), and the modern town of Chonas or Chonum occupies a site near its ruins. - ''Initial text from Easton's Bible Dictionary, 1897 -- Please update as needed'' SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
