Translation

[Meaning someone] in a state of incapacity, at a loss. "Curtailed by a limb-wasting illness, he ran over in his mind the evidence of [his] past valorous deeds."¹
Or kekoloume/nos ["curtailed"], [meaning] melted-away.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κεκολουμένος· ἀδυνάτως ἔχων, ἀμηχανῶν. τηξιμελεῖ νούσῳ κεκολουμένος ἔδραμε θυμῷ ἐς προτέρην ἔργων ἄρσενα μαρτυρίην. ἢ Κεκολουμένος, ἐκτετηγμένος.

Notes (1)

The headword participle (from the verb kolou/w: cf. kappa 1949, kappa 1950, LSJ entry at web address 1) is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
1Greek Anthology 7.234.3-4, Philip of Thessalonica. The verb e)/drame is used figuratively (Hecker proposed (279) emending to e)/drake "he looked at"); epithets are boldly transferred. "Aelius, bold-handed, first man of Argos [Myth, Place], who wreathed his neck with gold-bound wreaths of war--curtailed by a limb-wasting illness, ran over in his mind the testimony of former valorous deeds; and he thrust a broad sword into his heart, saying just one thing: 'Ares kills men; illness kills cowards.'" See also Gow and Page (vol. I, 318-319), (vol. II, 349), and further extracts under theta 463, tau 529. On Aelius's origins in the ancient Peloponnesian city of Argos (alpha 3766), see theta 463 note.
