According to Jashemski –

“The imprint of a wooden triclinium, which occupied a rectangular area 1.74 x 2.69m, was found in the garden, and on the south side of the triclinium was a square pool with a fountain. There was a spherical sundial in the north-east of the garden”.

See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p.47).

According to Soprano –

Ubiczione: peristilio.

Bibliog. Maiuri, La Casa del Menandro e il suo tesore di argenteria. (Roma, 1939), p.84 and fig.a on p.75.

Nel peristilio furono rinvenute le impronte di un triclinio ligneo.

Occupava un’area rettangolare di m.1.74 per 2.69; ad ovest del triclinio c’era una piscina quadrata.

See Soprano, P. (1950). I triclini all’aperto di Pompei. (In Pompeiana, raccolta di studi per il secondo centenario degli scavi di Pompei. Napoli, Gaetano Macchiaroli, Editore, P. 307, no.31).
