According to Della Corte, there were two electoral recommendations on the left side of the entrance:

Ingenus rog;  [CIL IV 7155]   with  Ingen(uus);  [CIL IV 7157]

Neither readable today.

According to Varone and Stefani, the numbers of the graffiti should be CIL IV 7155 and CIL IV 7156.

See Varone, A. and Stefani, G., 2009. Titulorum Pictorum Pompeianorum, Rome: L’erma di Bretschneider, (p.56)

According to Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss/Slaby (See www.manfredclauss.de) these should read as:

Lollium

Ingenu(u)s  aed(ilem)  rog(at)    [CIL IV 7155]

L(ucium) Popidium

aed(ilem)  o(ro)  v(os)  f(aciatis)   [CIL IV 7156]

Fuscum

II vir(um)  a(edibus)  s(acris)  p(ublicis)  rog(at)  Ingenuus   [CIL IV 7157].

According to Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss/Slaby (See www.manfredclauss.de), these would have read as -
