PSEUDODIP'TEROS (ψευδοδίπτερος). Pseudodipteral; a term employed to designate an edifice which presents the appearance of having a double colonnade round it, though in reality it is only a single one, which possesses the same projection from the walls of the cell as the dipteral structure, but the inner row of columns is dispensed with. (Vitruv. iii. 2.) The colonnade is thus twice as wide as that which is termed simply peripteral; and of the same width as the dipteral, thus combining increased accommodation with less cost. Compare the woodcuts s. DIPTEROS and PERIPTEROS with the present one (Pseudodipteros/1.1), which will make the distinction self-evident.
