According to Fiorelli –

“Un secondo orto or giardino teneva parimente il passaggio al terreno coltivato da tettoia, e delimitato da un podio: a sinistra la cella dell’hortulanus, cui erabo addossati tre letti triclinari di fabbrica, avanzo di altre antiche costruzioni qui prima esistite.”

(A second vegetable garden or garden with the roofed passageway to the cultivated land and bordered by a podium: on the left the room of the hortulanus, to which three masonry triclinium couches were leaning, remnants of other ancient buildings that had existed here before.)

According to Soprano –

Ubicazione: hortus.

Bibliog. Fiorelli, op. c., p.146.

Il triclinio era addossato alla cella dell’hortulanus nel giardino riservato esclusivamente alla cultura di ortaggi.

Il Fiorelli attribuisce questo triclinio a costruzioni che in precedenza avevano occupato l’area dell’ hortus.

Attualmente la sagoma dei tre letti e pressoche distrutta.
