Translation

Also [sc. attested is the related noun] kolosurto/s, [meaning] clamor/tumult/uproar.1
[sc. What is created] while the dust is greatly being raised up and coming into the air; for the hollow [koilon] participates in convexity and prominence. Better [interpretation:] the dust-cloud dragged along by hornless goats [koloi].2

Greek original · Adler’s text
