Notes:
The headword is neuter singular of the adjective nau/loxos, used as a substantive; cf. LSJ s.v.
cf. nu 61.
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon (see the references at Photius nu45 Theoodoridis); and cf. scholion on Homer, Odyssey 4.846 (where the participle loxo/wntes occurs). The present headword itself is reckoned to come from Odyssey 10.141.
[2] Arrian, Parthica fr. 58 Roos-Wirth, with the infinitive nauloxei=n.
[3] From a gloss on Herodotus 7.189.2, where the participle nauloxe/ontes occurs.
[4] See Homer, Odyssey 4.846, 10.141 (as above): nau/loxos is an adjective modifying limh/n. This last comment is lacking in mss AFV.
