Translation
[Meaning] a protuberance of land, an elevated place.1
Procopius [writes]: "[...] when they reach the peak of the mountain, there to spend the remainder of the night at rest."2
Arrian [writes]: "they observed that piles of stones were dispersed everywhere throughout the mountain, some larger, some smaller, which they guessed had been brought out of the plain. For the valley was not by nature stone-less, or fertile; rather, at a guess, it had been cleared out."3

Greek original · Adler’s text
Κολωνός· γῆς ἀνάστημα, τόπος ὑψηλός. Προκόπιος· ἐπειδὰν δὲ εἰς τὸν τοῦ ὄρους κολωνὸν ἵκωνται, ἐνταῦθα ἡσυχάζοντας τὸ λοιπὸν διανυκτερεύειν. Ἀρριανός· καθεώρων κολωνοὺς λίθων πολλαχοῦ τοῦ ὄρους νενεμημένους, τοὺς μὲν μείζους, τοὺς δὲ ἐλάττους· οὓς εἴκαζον ἐκ τοῦ πεδίου συνενηνέχθαι. ἦν γὰρ οὐ φύσει ἄλιθον, οὐδὲ εὔγειον τὸ πεδίον, ἀλλ' οἷον εἰκασθῆναι ἐκκακαθαρμένον.
