V.2.10 Pompeii. December 2007. Looking north towards room 3, tablinum.
According to NdS, opposite to the entrance corridor was the tablinum, with the doorframes covered in fluted white plaster.
On the east wall was the painting of Hippolytus and Phaedra, described in NdS and BdI.
See Notizie degli Scavi di Antichità, 1891, (p.268). 

According to BdI, the tablinum was painted in the “style of the candelabra” but was only preserved on the right (east) wall. In the middle of the wall between two thin green candelabra a white panel was left (1.50 high x 0.91 length). It showed Hippolytus and Phaedra, occupying nearly the entire width but was not higher than 0.80.
On the same wall, on the upper part to the left, (0.54 high x 0.42 length) but badly preserved was a painting with doors, in the usual manner. On the left, was a clothed woman playing the lyre which she held on her left side.
To the right of the centre, another fully-clothed woman (looking left) leaning against a column, raises her left hand, in which she holds an object in the guise of a roll(?) (un rotolo) and whose other extremity, seems to touch the chin. Further to the right up to the border, but further back, stands a building, open in front and back, in which you recognize a figure whose details are not distinguished: it seems, however, that she is naked and that she is putting a cloth on top of some furniture.

V.2.10 Pompeii. December 2007. Doorway to room 5.
According to NdS, this doorway led to a spacious room on a slightly higher level, and which could have been a triclinium.
It was decorated with two paintings, both relative to the myth of Daedalus and Pasiphae.
The one on the east wall, see below, was cut. 
Only a trace remained of the one on the west wall.
Straight ahead, Sogliano could see the figure of Pasiphae sitting on a throne and turning to the left.
She was wearing a purple robe fringed with blue.
To the left of her was the outline of a cow, near to which would have been the figure of Daedalus, who would have been almost in the middle.

V.2.10 Pompeii. December 2007. Stone base on north-west corner of room 8.
According to Boyce –
In the front portico of the peristyle, on the east wall between the stair and the door to an adjacent room, a mass of masonry stands against the wall (w.1.22, d.0.60), flanked by two heavy antae, the height of which cannot be determined. Probably they rose to a height of about one metre and upon them rested a vault or some sort of roof and this was the aedicula for the domestic worship.
See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (92, p. 34) 
According to NdS, between the rustic room 8, and the stairs to the upper floor, was a recessed seat between two walls and built against the dividing room pilaster.
