Note 343 — Chapter IV · (continued 2)

Walter Armstrong translation

We may cite as a peripteral temple of the Ptolemaic epoch the building at Edfou, called, in the Description, the Little Temple (Antiquités, vol. i. plates 62-65). It differs from the Pharaonic temples of the same class in having square piers only at the angles, the rest of the portico being supported by columns.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
