According to la Vega –
Portici 23 Settembre 1775.
In Stabia si è levato in frantumi il pavimento di musaico negri notato
nel rapporto de 26 agosto, per mandare dentro de’ sacchi le pietre di musaico a
Canart. Ho fatto mutare il lavoro di Stabia in altro sito, dove a Mastro
Antonio ha parso più proprio per fare de’
ritrovamenti da mandare al Museo………………. Non molto lontano da questo fu trovata
in tempi addietro una stalla e le rote di un carro. Gli dissi nel passato
rapporto che si lavorava nel cortile della solita casa; in questo s’era scoperta
una nicchia che avendovi fatto per poco approfondare, vi si è trovato il piede d’una statua di marmo; e pero ho stimato, prima di abbondonare questo luogo, di
ordinare che vi si faccia all’intorno qualche ricerca per ritrovare, se mai vi
fosse, la corrispondente statua; lo che credo sia di sua approvazione…. la Vega
(minuta).
Dal 18 di settembre al 31 di ottobre si scavò la sala o exedra notata col. No.19 nella Tav. V. – V. il
Giornale di la Vega dal 1775 al 1778.
(Portici
23, September 1775.
In
Stabia, the black floor noted in the report of 26th August was lifted in
fragments, to send the mosaic stones in sacks to Canart. I have changed the
work at Stabia to another site, where it seemed to Mastro Antonio to make
precisely more finds to be sent to the Museum……………. Not far from this was found
in former times, a stable and the wheels of a wagon. I told him in the past
report, that we worked in the courtyard of the usual house; in this a niche had
been discovered, which having been made to deepen it for a little bit, a foot
of a marble statue was found, and therefore I have thought before abandoning
this place, to order that some search be made around it to find, if at all, the
corresponding statue; which I think will be to your approval…………… La Vega
(minuta).
From
the 18th of September to the 31st of October, the room or exedra noted as No.19
was excavated, as in Tav. V. – See the Journal of la Vega from 1775 to 1778.)
