Just found this quote while browsing a link from one of the other posts, no mention of Solun here.

"The trade in Skopje achieved its zenith in the XVII century. In 1680, Petar Bogdani wrote: “From Skopje to Thessalonika, the river Vardar is navigable for rafts and small boats which is favorable for trade, and one mile above Skopje ... there is a ferry"

how about one of the books in the Bible being named Thessalonians and not Solunians?
