This was slightly under the first inscription, and also painted in red which hid many remains of other programmata with unreadable letters.

See Notizie degli Scavi di Antichità, 1913, p. 223.

According to Varone and Stefani, found at the top of the pilaster and in the centre, were –

Helvium Sabinum

aed(ilem) o(ro) v(os) f(aciatis)    [CIL IV 7593]

Licinium aed(ilem) o(ro) v(os) f(aciatis)

d(ignum) r(ei) p(ublicae)    [CIL IV 7594]

These are no longer conserved. Underneath them were the remains of CIL IV 7121 and CIL IV 7122.
