Also nauk-.
[ad. Gr. ναυκρᾱρία, f. ναύκρᾱρος (in Hesychius ναύκλᾱρος), usually supposed to be a var. of ναύκληρος, but the etym. and original meaning are doubtful.]
One of the smaller political divisions of the Athenian people.
1836Thirlwall Greece xi. II. 52 Solon..appears to have laid the foundation of the Attic navy, by charging the forty-eight sections, called naucraries, into which the tribes had been divided for financial purposes, each with the equipment of a galley, as well as with the mounting of two horsemen. 1847Grote Greece III. 71 The Naukrary is a local circumscription, composed of the Naukrars or principal householders (so the etymology seems to indicate). Ibid. 72 The forty-eight naukraries are thus a systematic subdivision of the four tribes. |
