Translation

[nh=a is the same as] nau=n,1 [meaning] boat.
But it is also made clear in the [commentaries] on the Iliad that ploi=a ["boats"] differ from nh=es ["ships"], as the ancients designated them.2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Νῆα· ναῦν, πλοῖον. ὅτι δὲ διαφέρει πλοῖα νηῶν, ὡς οἱ παλαιοὶ παρασημειοῦνται, δεδήλωται καὶ ἐν τοῖς εἰς τὴν Ἰλιάδα.

Notes (2)

  1. The headword is epic accusative singular of nau=s; the first gloss is the Attic form. In non-literary Hellenistic Greek nau=s was replaced by ploi=on.
    cf. nu 303; also nu 2, nu 353.
  2. 1From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 1.141, where the headword occurs. ↩
  3. 2This supplementary comment is a marginal addition in ms M, which had a scholarly owner. ↩
