Translation
[Meaning] fine weather, in which the ships lie in ambush [loxw=sin ], or [that is to say] they are at rest.1
"He ordered the ships to wait safely hidden in the bends; but when they saw him completing the bridge, to cross as quickly as possible."2
But in Herodotus [it means] a harbor or fine weather.3
So also in Homer.4

Ναύλοχον· εὔδιον, ἐν ᾧ αἱ ναῦς λοχῶσιν, ἢ ἀναπαύονται. ὁ δὲ ναῦς προσέταξεν ἐν τοῖς ἀγκῶσι ναυλοχεῖν λανθάνοντας· ἐπειδὰν δὲ αἴσθωνται ζευγνύειν αὐτὸν τὴν γέφυραν, διαβάλλειν ὡς τάχιστα. παρὰ δὲ Ἡροδότῳ λιμὴν ἢ εὐδία. οὕτω καὶ παρ' Ὁμήρῳ.

Notes (4)
- The headword is neuter singular of the adjective
nau/loxos , used as a substantive; cf. LSJ s.v.
cf. nu 61. - 1Likewise 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. ↩ - 2Arrian, Parthica fr. 58 Roos-Wirth, with the infinitive
nauloxei=n . ↩ - 3From a gloss on Herodotus 7.189.2, where the participle
nauloxe/ontes occurs. ↩ - 4See Homer, Odyssey 4.846, 10.141 (as above):
nau/loxos is an adjective modifyinglimh/n . This last comment is lacking in mss AFV. ↩
