What Wikipedia says

A pseudoperipteros (Greek: ψευδοπερίπτερος, meaning "falsely peripteral") is a building with engaged columns embedded in the outer walls, except the front of the building. The form is found in classical architecture in ancient Greek temples, especially in the Hellenistic period.
