On the west side of the entrance doorway, many graffiti were found.

Amongst them CIL IV 7928 was found, in the area of the corner of the insula, behind the scaffolding.

None of the graffiti are now conserved.

See Varone, A. and Stefani, G., 2009. Titulorum Pictorum Pompeianorum, Rome: L’erma di Bretschneider, (p.460-1)

According to Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss/Slaby (See www.manfredclauss.de), CIL IV 7928 read as –

Cn(aeum)  Helvium  Sabin(um)

aed(ilem)  v(irum)  p(robum)  vicini  rog(ant)      [CIL IV 7928]

According to Cooley, graffiti recorded as being on the front of the House of C. Julius Polybius translates as –

“His neighbours ask for Cn. Helvius Sabinus, an honest man, as aedile”.   [CIL IV 7928]
