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.

Nakoleia: a city in Phrygia. Strabo, book 12. The name is neuter, after Nakole, a nymph. And just as 'nymphaion' is from 'nymphe' and 'Heraion' from 'Hera', so 'Nakolaion' is from 'Nakole'. The ethnonym is 'Nakolaieus'. But if the form is 'Nakoleia', with a diphthong, deriving from 'Nakolos', the son of Daskylos, the ethnonym will be 'Nakoleus', as 'Seleukeus' is from 'Seleukos'.

Etymologies

Category	Explanation
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.
