Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] destroyed, slew.¹ "Then he lost his wits and, crazy, minced himself up with a knife."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κατεχόρδησεν· ἀνεῖλεν, ἐξηνάριξεν. εἶτα τῶν φρενῶν ἐξέπλευσε καὶ μανεὶς ἑαυτὸν μαχαίρᾳ κατεχόρδησε.

Notes (1)

[1] The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is third person singular, aorist indicative active, of kataxorde/w.
2Aelian fr. 278 Domingo-Forasté (280 Hercher); undoubtedly a version of the madness, self-mutilation and death (490 BCE) of King Kleomenes of Sparta, first in Herodotus 6.75.2-3 (and including the participle kataxordeu/wn). See web address 1.
