According to Warscher, quoting Mau in Bull. Inst. 1874, p.263, she described –

I.2.22 “Le case che verso E danno sul vico di Tesmo, non meritano una descrizione dettagliata.

Rilevo soltanto che nella prima casa verso S a destra d’uno stretto corridoio si trova prima un bacino murato rotundo (diam. 0,50 – 0,58), poi un altro quadrangolare (I,82 + 0,70), che tocca quel primo col lato corto.  Ambedue sono profondi 0,82 e congiunti presso al fondo da un foro; dal secondo l’acqua scolava verso S.

In fondo al sudetto corridoio vi è la cucina, col focolare a destra fra cui e quei bacini il muro è perforato da una piccola finestra.

In una camera della stessa casa leggiamo nel pavimento in pietruzze bianche la parola “HAVE”.

See Warscher T., 1935. Codex Topographicus Pompeianus: Regio I.2. Rome: DAIR.

(translation: I. 2.22 "The house that overlooked the vico di Tesmo to the east, doesn’t deserve a detailed description.

I note only that in the first house towards the south, to the right of a narrow corridor, one found first a walled round basin (diam. 0,50 – 0,58), then another quadrangular (1,82 + 0,70), which touched against the first with its short side. Both were 0,82 deep, and joined towards the back by a hole; from the second the water drained off towards the south.

At the bottom of the same corridor there was the kitchen, with stove on the right, between which and some basins, the wall was pierced by a small window.

In a room of the same house we read the word “HAVE” written in white stones on the floor.”)
