  • Kupsabiny: “Each pillar had a length/height of twenty-seven feet and a hat/ring of bronze was placed on top. Each of these hats/rings had a height of four and a half feet. All of those hats/rings had been decorated with carvings that were like fruits of pomegranate.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The two pillars were exactly the same length, 8.2 meters high. The capital on top of each was 1.3 meters high.
