A graffito found, but no longer visible, above the remaining plaster on the exterior east wall, read:

Helvium

Sabinum  aed(ilem)  o(ro)  v(os)  f(aciatis)     [CIL IV 7336]

The photos on page 119 of the above book do not show any sign of a street shrine in this location.

However there is a note that says originally the photos were ascribed to II.2.1-5.

At II.2.1 there was a street shrine, so perhaps that is where the confusion has arisen from.
