(ναῦται , sailors) was the name sometimes given in the early Church to the presbyters (q.v.) just as by similitude the catechumens were sometimes called ναυτολόγοι, or ναυστολόγοι , with reference to the wellknown comparison of the Church with a ship, and to the circumstance that the catechumens took their station in the church at the end of the nave. See Riddle, Christian Antiquities, page 461. (See NAUTOLOGI).
