Mau records three further tombs.

1. Unexcavated bench

"A third bench, close to the second, lies under a modern house and has not been uncovered,"

See Mau, A., 1907, translated by Kelsey F. W. Pompeii: Its Life and Art. New York: Macmillan. p. 430-1.

2. Square tomb of Cn Clovatius

"Further from the gate a rectangular seat, probably belonging to the same series of monuments, was discovered in 1854; It was built in memory of a certain Clovatius, duumvir, as shown by a fragment of an inscription that came to light at the same time."

See Mau, A., 1907, translated by Kelsey F. W. Pompeii: Its Life and Art. New York: Macmillan. p. 430-1.

CIL X 1065 records the inscription "To Gnaeus Clovatius, son of Gnaeus, duumvir with judicial power, military tribune; {burial} place {given in accordance with a decree of the town councillors}."

See Cooley, A. and M.G.L., 2004. Pompeii : A Sourcebook. London : Routledge. p. 140; G8.

According to Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss/Slaby (See www.manfredclauss.de), this read -

[C]n(aeo) Clovatio Cn(aei) f(ilio) IIvir(o) i(ure) d(icundo) tr(ibuno) mil(itum) loc[ [CIL X 1065]

Drawing of gladiatorial combat relief which Fiorelli says is from the Tomb of Cn Clovatius.

See Mau, A., 1907, translated by Kelsey F. W. Pompeii: Its Life and Art. New York: Macmillan. p. 430-1.
