VI.11.4 Pompeii. Unnamed house.
Rear entrance at VI.11.17. Excavated 1842.
According to Fiorelli –
“Vedesi di poi un’officina, cui stava unita l’abitazione del
negotiator.
L’officina componevasi di più celle di diversa ampiezza poste
intorno ad un atriolo, fra due delle quali era situata la fauce, che l’univa
alla casa del padrone. Questa con ingresso dal vicolo orientale numero 17,
teneva il suo protiro fra un grande triclinio e la cucina, avente d’appresso la
cella penaria: poi a destra un cubicolo ed un oecus di fronte il tablino, con
repositorio allato per contenere l’armadio delle scritture: dall’altro canto la
fauce onde discendere nell’officina, nel cui prolungamento era situati due
cubicoli, dopo dei quali un cavedio, in cui stavano forse alcuni vasi di
fiori.”

(We see then a
workshop, to which the negotiator's house was joined.
The workshop
consisted of several rooms of different widths/sizes placed around an atrium,
the fauces was located between two of them, which joined it to the master's
house. This with entrance from the eastern alley at no. 17, had its corridor
between a large triclinium (according to Jashemski this was a peristyle garden)
and the kitchen, having with it the storeroom/cupboard: then on the right a
cubiculum and an oecus in front of the tablinum, with an allied repository to
contain the cabinet of writings: the fauces was on the other side in order to
descend into the workshop, in whose extension two cubiculum were located, after
which a yard, in which perhaps were some vases of flowers.)

(Note: “Sesta casa” (Sixth house) is part of Avellino’s description, and not a numbered location.)
It would seem he called VI.11.4/5/15/16 and 17, the Sixth house).
