According to Della Corte, four electoral recommendations found above three corners of this crossroad, all speak of a Salarius Crocus. They read –

(M’ Salarius) Crocus cupit  [CIL IV 6647]

Salarius rog(at)                      [CIL IV 6645]

Crocus c(upidu)s f(acit)      [CIL IV 6667]

Salarius (rogat)                     [CIL IV 3491 – with Note 2]

He thought the first two were from the proprietor of VI.16.3, whereas the last two were probably the proprietor or owner of VI.14.30, Casa del Laocoonte.
