Νώρακος, πόλις Παννονίας. ὁ πολίτης Νωράκιος. ὡς Ἐπαφρόδιτος ἐν τοῖς Ὁμηρικοῖς φησιν, ὅτι γίνεται ἐν Παννονίᾳ σίδηρος, ὃς ἀκονηθεὶς λαμπρότατός ἐστιν. ἀφ´ οὗ καὶ τὸ “νώροπα χαλκόν”. καὶ θηλυκὸν Νωρακία καὶ οὐδέτερον Νωράκιον.
Nōrakos: a city of Pannonia. The inhabitant is Nōrakios. As Epaphroditus says in his Homeric Studies, iron is produced in Pannonia which, when sharpened, is very bright; hence too the expression “nōropa bronze” (Il. 2.578, 11.16, etc.). The feminine is Nōrakia, and the neuter Nōrakion.
