According to Breton, on the pilaster opposite the prothyron of I.4.5 at Via Stabiana 109, the following inscription was found:
Q. POSTVMIVM
PROCVLVM AED.
PRISCVM ROGAT
CRISPVS
(Crispus
wants Q. Postumius Proculus Priscus as aedile).
He also said nearly all the walls of the street were covered with invocations of this genre; many of them offered the name of Holconius Rufus, found reproduced on many walls in Pompeii.
