According to Fiorelli –
Following along the western side of the insula, which after the earthquake tremor was reinforced by a brick wall, first one encountered the doorway of a small room, perhaps held by the custodian of the nearby Baths.
(Svolto il
canto occidentale dell’isola, che dopo il tremuoto fu rafforzato da un parete
laterizia, incontrasi dapprima l’adito di una piccola cella, tenuta forse dal
custode della prospiciente piscina.)
