Translation
A place-name.1
It should be noted2 that this Phrygian city is commonly derived from the nymph Nakole; whence also Nakolaion, the same [city]; just as nymphaion from nymph.3 The ethnic designation [of a citizen from there] is Nakoleus, similar to Seleuceus. Neuter [plural] Nakoleia is also encountered.

Νακώλεια· ὄνομα τόπου. ἰστέον δέ, ὅτι κοινῶς μὲν τεθήλυνται ἡ Φρυγιακὴ αὕτη πόλις ἀπὸ Νακώλης νύμφης· ἐξ ἧς καὶ Νακώλαιον, ἡ αὐτή· ὡς ἀπὸ νύμφης νύμφαιον. ἐθνικὸν αὐτῆς Νακωλεύς, ὡς Σελευκεύς. εὕρηται δὲ καὶ οὐδετέρως τὰ Νακώλεια.
