According to Della Corte, found written in charcoal probably by a passer-by was CIL IV 8426:

[Per] Lares sanctos rogo tu et…… [CIL IV 8426]

This was written, approximately in the left top corner of the photo, although none of the wording has been conserved.

According to Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss/Slaby (See www.manfredclauss.de) it read as -

[Per] Lares Sanctos

rogo te ut [                  [CIL IV 8426]

According to Cooley, CIL IV 8426, appears to the left of a street corner shrine, where a painting of a Lar and a snake can still be faintly seen.

On top of the altar were found the carbonised remains of a sacrifice of a chicken.

She translates the wording as –

“By the sacred Lares, I ask you …..”  [CIL IV 8426]
