Translation:
A place-name.[1]
It should be noted[2] that this Phrygian city is commonly derived from the nymph Nakole; whence also Nakolaion, the same [city]; just as nymphaion from nymph.[3] The ethnic designation [of a citizen from there] is Nakoleus, similar to Seleuceus. Neuter [plural] Nakoleia is also encountered.
