Νήρικος, πόλις Ἀκαρνανίας, ἣν Ὅμηρος ἀκτήν φησιν ἠπείροιο, ἥτις ἐστὶν Ἀκαρνανία. Λούπερκος δὲ ταύτην Νήριτος φησίν, ἢ Νήριτον ὡς τὸ ὄρος. ὁ πολίτης Νηρίκιος καὶ Νηρικία, καὶ τὸ κτητικὸν τοῦ ὄρους Νηρίτιος.
Nērikos: a city of Akarnania, which Homer (Od. 24.377) says is the “mainland coast” (aktē ēpeiroio)—that is, Akarnania. Luperkos (RE XIII.2, 1839, no. 5) says that this is Nēritos, or Nēriton, like the mountain. The ethnics are Nērikios (masc.) and Nērikia (fem.); and the possessive adjective of the mountain is Nēritios.

Ἀσφόδικος, Ὄρικος κύριον, Σίνδικος πόλις προσεχὴς τῇ Σκυθίᾳ, Νήρικος πόλις Ἀκαρνανίας, ἣν Ὅμηρος (Od. ω 377) ἀκτήν φησι ἠπείροιο.
