"ναρκίον" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ναρκίον in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /narˈci.on/, /narˈci.on/, /narˈci.on/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /narˈci.on/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /narˈci.on/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Unknown. DELG considers a connection with λάρκος (lárkos, “charcoal basket”) and perhaps νάρναξ (nárnax, “box, chest, coffer”). He rejects a connection with νάρκη (nárkē, “numbness”). Obrador-Cursach compares as a possible cognate Phrygian νώρικον (nṓrikon, “skin, skinbag”). He hesitatingly proposes a shared source for the Greek and Phrygian word, further comparing Akkadian 𒈾𒊒𒄣 (narūqu, “sack, bag”).
