According to Mau –

“on the right (of the corridor) was a spacious triclinium, with two doors, one onto the corridor, one onto the locality at the end of it, which seems to have been a garden and at the end of which stands the wide entrance of a room not yet excavated, in the middle of which stands a brick column.”

See Bullettino dell’Instituto di Corrispondenza Archeologica (DAIR), 1875 (p.169).
