What does soleas mean?

Soleas
The soleas is an extension of the sanctuary platform in an Eastern Orthodox temple. The soleas projects beyond the iconostasis, forming a narrow walkway running the full length of the iconostasis. In the center of the soleas is the ambon, directly in front of the Holy Doors, where the communicants stand to receive Holy Communion and where the clergy come out for public prayers, sermons, etc. At either side of the soleas are places for two choirs, called the kliros. In some major churches in Greece, the soleas sometimes extends far out from the iconostasis into the nave. On it will be two choirs to either side, the bema to one side and the Bishop's throne on the other. The Solea will be separated from the main part of the nave by a waist-high wall with icons and a central opening. Liturgically in these churches, the Solea will be where the Deacon stands to read the petitions, where the readings will take place and where the people will come to receive communion
