Entities: Νακολία (Nakolia (Nacolia)) [place], Φρυγία (Phrygia) [place], Νάκολος (Nakolos) [person], Νύμφαιον (Nymphaion) [place], Ἥρα (Hera) [deity], Ἥραιον (Heraion (Heraion sanctuary)) [place], Νακόλαιον (Nakolaion) [place], Νακολαιεύς (Nakolaeus (inhabitant of Nakolia)) [people], Νακόλεια (Nakoleia) [place], Νάκολος (Nakolos) [person], Δάσκυλος (Daskylos) [person], Σέλευκος (Seleucus) [person], Σελευκεύς (Seleukeus (inhabitant of Seleucus/Seleucia)) [people]
Etymologies: Eponym Person: And it is no different: from Nakolis the nymph; and just as Nymphaion is from the nymph and Heraion from Hera, so Nakolis (gives) Nakolaion; the ethnicon is Nakolaeus.; Eponym Person: But if it is Nakoleia by a double consonant, (named) after Nakolos, the son of Daskylus, the ethnicon will be Nakoleus; Morphological Composition: Thus Nakolis -> Nakolaion; the ethnicon Nakolaeus. If Nakoleia arises by a double consonant, the ethnicon will be Nakoleus, as Seleukos -> Seleukeus.

Νακόλεια, πόλις Φρυγίας. Στράβων δωδεκάτῃ. καί ἐστιν οὐδέτερον. ἀπὸ Νακόλης νύμφης. καὶ ὥσπερ ἀπὸ τοῦ νύμφης νύμφαιον καὶ Ἥρας Ἥραιον, οὕτω Νακόλης Νακόλαιον. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Νακολαιεύς. εἰ δ´ ἔστι Νακόλεια διὰ διφθόγγου, παρὰ τὸν Νάκολον τὸν Δασκύλου παῖδα, τὸ ἐθνικὸν ἔσται Νακολεύς, ὡς τὸ Σέλευκος Σελευκεύς.
Nakolia: a city of Phrygia. Strabo book 12. The name is also neuter, derived from Nakolē the nymph; and just as from “nymph” comes Nymphaion and from Hēra comes Hēraion, so from Nakolē comes Nakolaion. The ethnic is Nakolai(e)us. But if the form is Nakoleia with a diphthong, from Nakolos, son of Daskylos, the ethnic will be Nakoleus, just as from Seleukos comes Seleukeus.
