I.1.1 Pompeii. September 2005. Looking east from Via Stabiana towards the double entrance, divided by a pillar. According to Fiorelli, the Caupona was held by an Epagato, that had a deformity of either his head or his body (del capo o del corpo), and because of this he was called “cilo”, and this name was found on a pillar to the right of the entrance in an electoral recommendation (now no longer there) – CEIVM . II . V.I.D EPAGATVS . GYLO ROG According to Della Corte, the electoral recommendation read: “EPAGATUS COPO ROG(AT)” [CIL IV. 1015] See Pappalardo, U., 2001. La Descrizione di Pompei per Giuseppe Fiorelli (1875). Napoli: Massa Editore. P.32, in which he writes that he cannot concede the correction proposed by Zangmeister of CITO or COPO (CIL. IV.1015), as he says the upper part of a Y and the lower part of an L, were visible.
