Russian term or phrase: темплон
I would use "iconostasis" for темплона, but here we have mention of both темплон and иконостас. What is the difference, or are they synonymous?

From a work on architectural monuments in Constantinople.

Скажем только, что церковь Полиевкта могла быть купольной. Тут были найдены каменные иконы из темплона, доиконоборческого иконостаса.

"The templon gradually morphed into the iconostasis during the post-iconoclastic period and into the late Byzantine period. With the “victory of the icons” in the late 8th century, they became larger and more prolific both on the altar barrier and on the interior walls of the church. The icons were at first hung in a temporary and movable fashion on the columns. Later, they were placed between the columns and gradual grew from movable icons to permanent and fixed icons on the iconostasis. "
