On Nannacus (who lived to be more than 300 years old) see already
nu 24, again
tau 71, and generally
Zenobius 6.10. Also, apparently, called Annacus (by
Stephanus of
Byzantium s.v.
Ikonion, though Meineke questioned the transmitted text there).
[1] As Karl Scherling notes in his article in Pauly ('Nannakos'), there is a clear similarity between Nannacus and the biblical figure of
Enoch (as there is between
Deucalion and the biblical figure of Noah).
[2]
Zenobius says that Nannacus, anticipating
Deucalion's flood, gathered his subjects into a temple and prayed for deliverance. For this see further under
tau 71,
Ta Nannakou klausomai.
