De Architectura
Vitruvius Pollio
Ergo pycnostylos est, cuius intercolumnio unius et dimidiatae columnae crassitudo interponi potest, quemadmodum est divi Iulii et in Caesaris foro Veneris et si quae aliae sic sunt compositae.
So then pycnostyle is that in the intercolumniations of which the thickness of a column and a half can be interposed, as in the temple of Julius, and of Venus in the Forum of Caesar, and any others which are so arranged.
