The answer
a. κιγκλίς (kygklis): a grating or mesh wall. Eusebius mentions the presence of wooden
grating screens in the great church of Tyre that was “wrought with so delicate an art as to be a wonder to behold.”
b. διασтυλα (diastyla): a barrier made of a row of columns that hold some wooden or
marble boards in between, on which icons are painted or verses from Scripture are engraved.
c. δρύφοκтα (dryfokta): fence.
d. тέκπαλον (tekpalon): temple. It is called a temple either because it looks like the front
of the old temples or because it aims to express the Christian concept of the holy place where God is worshipped.
