		In architecture a peristyle is a range of columns with their entablature, etc. Specifically the term describes a complete system of columns, whether on all sides of a court, or surrounding a building, such as the cella of a temple.
		In architecture the term pseudo-dipteral refers to something falsely or imperfectly dipteral, as a temple with the inner range of columns surrounding the cella omitted, so that the space between the cella wall and the columns is very great, being equal to two intercolumns and one column, for example.
		In architecture the term pseudo-peripteral refers to something falsely or imperfectly peripteral, as a temple having the columns at the sides attached to the walls, and an ambulatory only at the ends or only at one end.

	WIDTH OF THE CELLA
		The difference of 1/48 of foot was taken into account by adding this amount to the peripteral space on the south side.
		On the north flank the peripteral space is 16½ feet or 4,577.9 mm., whereas on the south flank it is 16 ½ feet + 1/48 = 16
		The reason for this anomaly was that, by increasing the peripteral space on the south side by 1/48, the cella was displaced to the north by this amount; this effect of thrust to the north was compensated by making the euthynteria step wider on the south side by 2/48 of foot.

	The Dimensions of the Parthenon
		This rule was followed in the Parthenon in the sense that the peripteral spaces on the flanks were made equal to the spaces assigned to the corner columns of the cella, that is, 16½ feet of 4,577.9 mm.
		In this calculation of the peripteral space it is implied that the front of the peripteros should have one column more at each side than the cella.
		Hence, the stylobate of the peripteral colonnade of the Parthenon, too, was planned in geographic feet, 100 x 225.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Temple
		It contained in itself the fruitful seed which enabled it in the course of centuries to develop, even architecturally, far beyond the classical temple.
		In the latter, excepting in the prostyle temple, the front had hardly any distinctive characteristic, in the peripteral, amphiprostyle, and other temples the back and front were alike.
		On the other hand, the façades of many Christian churches are works of the finest finish and highest architectural value.

		Alan Lloyd explains that "one of the distinctive features of major state temples in the Ptolemaic and Roman periods was the provision of a small peripteral temple, invariably placed at right angles to the main temple, for which Champollion coined the term mammisi (an invented Coptic word meaning "birth house").
		The Ptolemaic mammisi were usually surrounded by colonnades with intercolumnar screen walls, and they were used to celebrate the rituals of the marriage of the goddess (Isis or Hathor) and the birth of the child-god" (414).

		460-440 B.C. This is a famous temple that is peripteral with Doric columns.
		These two styles are mainly differentiated by one row of columns surrounding the structure, called peripteral, or with two rows of columns, called dipteral.
		If one looks at the picture with these standards of Greek architecture in mind, some noticeable similarities and differences occur.
