According to Della Corte, these graffiti were found on the front of these entrances:
Caecilium Capellam
d(uum) v(irum) i(ure) d(icundo) o(ro) v(os) f(aciatis)
Cornelia rog(at) [CIL IV 3479]
He thought Cornelia may have been the wife of Vesonius Primus.
[C]n(aeum) Helvium Sabinum
aed(ilem) Primus cum suis rog(at) [CIL IV 3482]
According to Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss/Slaby (See www.manfredclauss.de) this graffito ends with the word “fac(iat)” and not “rog(at)”
Also found here was a graffito that read:
Proculum
aed(ilem) Felicio
lupinipolus rog (at) [CIL IV 3483]
This was similar to the one from the opposite side of the road (see V.1.25 [CIL IV 3423]) and led him to think it named the owner of the shop there.
