[Meaning] a harbour.1
The places also used to be fenced with a skin, to prevent harm to the planking. Or because the naval force is called a naustathmos.2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ναύσταθμον· τὸν λιμένα. ἐφράττοντο δὲ καὶ δέρματι οἱ τόποι πρὸς τὸ μὴ βλάπτεσθαι τὰ σανιδώματα. ἢ ὅτι ὁ ναυτικὸς στρατὸς ναύσταθμος καλεῖται.

Notes (2)

  1. The headword is in the accusative case, evidently quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities.
  2. 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica: see the references at Photius nu53 Theodoridis. ↩
  3. 2From the scholia to Aristophanes, Acharnians 95 (web address 1), where the term nau/farkton ["ship-fenced"] occurs. LSJ s.v. notes instances of this extended sense of the headword ('hence of ships assembled in a roadstead') in Plutarch. ↩
