PYCNOSTY'LOS (πυκνόστυλος). Pycnostyle; a term employed by the ancient architects to designate the closest of the five different kinds of intercolumniation in use amongst them, which only had an interval of one diameter and a half between each column, as shown by the top line in the annexed diagram (Pycnostylos/1.1), exhibiting at one view the relative proportions of all the five styles. It was only applied in the Ionic and Corinthian order Vitruv. iii. 2.
