Notes:
The unglossed headword, attested only here, is a neuter noun in the nominative/vocative/accusative) singular. It appears to be a late compound of
nho/s ("temple", an epic and Ionic form; see LSJ s.v.) and
fulakei=on ("watch-tower, watch, posted guard detail"; see LSJ s.v.).
The masculine noun
naofu/lac (found in Attic tragedy and in
Aristotle) occurs in two senses: "temple-guard" and "ship-master" (LSJ s.v.).
[1] That is, with the accent on the antepenultimate syllable (Dickey, p. 255; Smyth ยง157).
[2] In other words, it is suggested that the headword should be written
nhofula/kion.
