According to PPM –

“The triclinium had flooring of cocciopesto, the entrance area was marked with a “carpet” of scattered tiles enclosing a tablet with an inscription.

The place of the table between the couches was indicated with a circular “carpet” of tesserae.

The place of the couches on the flooring was without decoration

The tablet set into the cocciopesto flooring near the entrance read ANCVS in black and white stones, very worn out by the passage of feet over time.

It was the name of a family from Praeneste, (modern day Palestrina), a representative of whom could have been among the first colonizers of Pompeii.”

According to Jashemski, this property appeared to have had an open area, which may have been planted. This would have been to the rear of the living quarters. See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p.54)
