Eubcea, and father of Pakmedes, who fell a facrifice to 
the malignant revenge of Ulylfes. From the excellency 
of its harbour and fituation, it obtained the epithet of 
Navale. The harbour is good and fpacious, but the 
entrance narrow, and defended by a ftrong caftle. It is

NAP'PY, arlj. [from nap. Lye derives it from nappe, 
Sax. a cup. Dr. Johufon. —Serenius has given the fame 
derivation, nape , Germ, nap, Goth, a cup ; defining nappy , 
inebriating. So Sherwood renders nappy ale, Men forte, 
i. e. very itrong. Dr. Johnfon calls it, from nap, frothy, 
fpumy; whence apples and ale are called lambs’-wool. 
So we fay the foaming bowl, i. e. having the liquor in it 
frothing, raifing as it were with a head. Some have 
thought it referring to nap, in another fenfe, as producing 
fleep.] An old epithet applied to ale: 
Nappy ale, good and Hale, in a browne bowle, 
Which did about the board merrilye trowle.
