According to Sogliano –
“Two large serpents were painted on the wall of
the roadway, no doubt in order to protect it from all ugliness, with the
inscription now almost completely vanished:
Otiosos
locus hic non est, discede morator (Here
there is no place for idlers; you who linger go away).
(Sono
dipinti sul muro del vicolo due grandi serpenti, certo allo scopo di
proteggerla da ogni bruttura, con la iscrizione ora quasi svanita del tutto:
Otiosos
locus hic non est, discede morator (qui non v’ è
luogo per gli oziosi; tu che indugi va via).
See Sogliano, A. Guida
di Pompei, 1899, (p.33).
