pseudodipteral

Pseudodipteral temple, 75, 78, 82.

First there is the temple in antis, or ναος ἑν παραστἁσιν as it is called in Greek; then the prostyle, amphiprostyle, peripteral, pseudodipteral, dipteral, and hypaethral.

The pseudodipteral is so constructed that in front and in the rear there are in each case eight columns, with fifteen on each side, including the corner columns.

These rules for symmetry were established by Hermogenes, who was also the first to devise the principle of the pseudodipteral octastyle.

These ideas are developed, as I have described, in the pseudodipteral arrangement of a temple.
