But the story does not end here. At some distance to the northwest of the site of Curium, lying [handwritten: in] the vicinity of the Sanctuary of Demeter⁴ are two more drums of spirally fluted columns, A and B (figs.7-8, Pl. 8-9 ). The material of these two, which may or may not belong together, is reported as basalt of fine gray-black(?) color, rather like slate. The color and material, as well as the type and number of channels, set these off distinctly from those previously discussed. Moreover, they do not fit Ross's description of bluish marble. This does not mean, of course, that they may not have some connection with the theater. Such a connection is, in fact, likely as there is nothing to suggest that they had any connection with the sanctuary. Unfortunately, Ross did not mention them, and even village tradition is totally silent on the subject.
Before discussing the historical use of the columns, I present a statistical description of them in the following table (by J.S.Last):
