According to Della Corte, grape-gatherers were stationed here.

He thought this because of the electoral programme found here between entrances VI.16.22 and 23 –

Casellium aed(ilem) Vindemitores rog (ant)      [CIL IV 6672]

See Della Corte, M., 1965. Case ed Abitanti di Pompei. Napoli: Fausto Fiorentino. (p.87)

According to Varone and Stefani, found on the east side (left) of entrance 23 (between 22 and 23) was CIL IV 6671.

Found on the west side (right) of entrance 23 was CIL 6672.

Neither of the inscriptions have been preserved.
