Commentary: Graffito of a building, located on the south face of Pier A109, currently tucked back into a crevice of the buttress that abuts the pier and that was built to reinforce the structure. The building is a hexastyle temple with round capitals, one stepped stereobate and stylobate. The triangular pediment is not decorated, and it looks as if this graffito was not completed.'
