Headword:
*naukrari/a
Adler number: nu,57
Translated headword: naukrary, naucrary
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Demosthenes in the [speech]
Against Timocrates [sc. uses the word].[1] But perhaps, in the Atticizing writers, it is better taken as
naukratitika/ ["of
Naukratis"], so that [the adjective] would stem from a Naukratite vessel, or Naukratite voyagers. For
Naukratis was, of old, a trading-post in Egypt. But if [the correct reading] is
*naukrarika/, that would be "of the archons"; for long ago they used to call the archons
nau/kraroi, as
Herodotos shows in [book] five of his
Histories.[2]
Perhaps the term
naukrarika/ comes from the tip [
krai=ra] of a ship [
nau=s].

Notes:
The first paragraph of this entry comes from Harpokration s.v.
naukrarika/. In the Suda, as already in
Photius (nu38 Theodoridis), the headword has become
naukrari/a, which makes less sense of the suggestion in the entry that the word be emended to
*naukratitika/ in Atticizing writers.
For
Naukratis cf.
