Pillars or columns?

edit

Nice work, Owenglyndur, thank you.

"The Arabic name ... Umm el-Umdan = Mother of pillars." Also: "pillars ... scattered in the area ..."

Pillars or columns? Not the same, in spite of pillar redirecting to column. Arminden (talk) 15:31, 6 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you @Arminden
Based on the dictionary definition i think pillars is the correct translation Owenglyndur (talk) 06:38, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi. In such cases the archaeological reports are what matters, starting with Clermont-Ganneau. Let's look there. Arminden (talk) 07:17, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
