According to Jashemski –
This unusual building, according to Fiorelli, although originally part of the house at VIII.3.14, had been converted into a caupona.
The garden, which made up a large part of the building, had a portico on the west and south, supported on the south by two square pillars, which were painted with vines. A low wall, which had an entrance on the west, enclosed the garden on the west and south.
In the east part of the garden was a masonry stibadium (3.50m in its widest dimension), the only one found thus far at Pompeii.
It was perhaps shaded by a pergola. The table was supported by a monopodium.

Era l’unica stibadium
rinvenuto, finora, a Pompei.
Si trova nella
parte orientale di una piccola area di giardino circondata da podio lungo i
lati di nord e di ovest, ed era completamente privo di intonaco.
Delle due
semicirconferenze che delimitano questo stibadium, quella interna era
regolare; quella esterna era grossolanamente ricurva.
La mensa, con
monopodio, di cui fa cenno il Dyer, non e piu in situ.
