Dear Dr. Benson,
We have one fragment of the spirally fluted columns from Soli here in Stockholm. I include two photographs. The height of the whole piece is 32 [handwritten: c.]. The upper shaft tablet: Diam. 34, Height 3.5. Upper diam. of the shaft 29.5 cm., lower diam. 31.0 cm. The grooves were 20-21 in number, are 2.6 - 2.8 cm. wide and 1.0 cm. deep. The ridges between the grooves are 0.6 cm. wide. The material is a rather dark grey-blue marble.
It will be very interesting to see if the columns from the theatre in Kurion are of the same kind.
Sincerely yours
