Translation
[Meaning] buildings, beside the sea, built for the reception of ships, when they are not at sea.1
[It is said] that Polykrates, tyrant of the Samians, imprisoned in shipsheds the children and wives of the citizens who were his subjects and kept them in readiness, in case those [men] should betray [him] to his attackers, in order to burn them [along with] the shipsheds themselves.2

Νεώσοικοι· οἰκήματα παρὰ τῇ θαλάσσῃ οἰκοδομούμενα εἰς ὑποδοχὴν νεῶν, ὅτε μὴ θαλαττεύοιεν. ὅτι Πολυκράτης ὁ Σαμίων τύραννος τῶν ὑφ' ἑωυτῷ ὄντων πολιητέων τὰ τέκνα καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας ἐς νεωσοίκους συνειλήσας εἶχεν ἑτοίμους, ἢν ἄρα προδιδῶσιν οὗτοι πρὸς τοὺς κατιόντας, ὑποπρῆσαι αὐτοῖσι τοῖσι νεωσοίκοισι.
