The places also used to be fenced with a skin, to prevent harm to the planking. Or because the naval force is called a naustathmos.[2]
Greek Original:Ναύσταθμον: τὸν λιμένα. ἐφράττοντο δὲ καὶ δέρματι οἱ τόποι πρὸς τὸ μὴ βλάπτεσθαι τὰ σανιδώματα. ἢ ὅτι ὁ ναυτικὸς στρατὸς ναύσταθμος καλεῖται.

[2] From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 95 (web address 1), where the term
ναύφαρκτον ["ship-fenced"] occurs. LSJ s.v. notes instances of this extended sense of the headword ('hence of
ships assembled in a roadstead') in
