• "The pseudo-peripteral temple originated from southern Italy as a mixture between a Greek peripteros and an Italo-Etruscan podium temple."
• "At Sagalassos, the podium was absent, as was also the case in the mid-Hellenistic Temple of Leto at the Letoön in Xanthos (Lycia), which has a pseudo-peripteral arrangement at the back of its naos."
• "As it is almost excluded that nothing of a potential Augustan peripteros was preserved, one has to reconstruct the Augustan Temple of Apollo Klarios as a simple naos of which the facade of the pronaos was shaped as a pseudo-peripteral naos (this means with attached half-columns instead of free standing ones) with smooth half-columns projecting from the antae and fluted half-column on either side of the door, all columns being crowned by Ionic half-capitals."
