Translation
In Thucydides naua/gion [is] neuter, when some part of the ship has been lost, e.g. the steering-oar or suchlike. But feminine1 nauagi/a [means] the loss of the entire ship.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ναυάγιον· παρὰ Θουκυδίδῃ οὐδετέρως μέν, ὅταν τι τῆς νηὸς ἀπολεσθῇ, οἷον πηδάλιον ἤ τι τοιοῦτον. ναυαγία δὲ θηλυκῶς πᾶσα ἡ τῆς νηὸς ἀπώλεια.
