Solier was the first antiquarian to indicate the four columns at Riez. The passage cited is taken from a copy of the Soliers’ manuscript, today incomplete (Aix, Bibliothèque Méjanes, ms. 758), made by the Baron of Méjanes. Contrary to what Solier thought, the four columns at Riez did not belong to a mausoleum, but formed the front part of the podium of an Augustinian temple
« extra urbem quatuor columnæ adhuc exstantes visuntur quæ antiqui mausolaei quadrati quartam partem demonstrant in hoc diocesi in pago qui dicitur mons pisatus ( ?) in ædibus diui martiri ejusmodi erat scriptum C. julius saturninus »
