Leaving the crypt of St. Cecilia and going a little way along Gallery I to the left, Gallery B is reached, which is one of the two original nuclei of the "First Area". Passing into Gallery C, we meet the beautiful little epitaph of Augurinus, with the dove holding an olive branch in its beak.
Through a narrow passage we enter Gallery A, where, on the right side, there are the rooms, commonly known as the Cubicles of Sacraments. On the walls we meet some Christian inscriptions. We read one of them:
" To Cartilius Ciriacus, most sweet son, that you may live in the Holy Spirit".
The structure of the galleries and the disposition of sepulchres give the impression of a vast dormitory, called by the Christians "cemetery", which means "place of sleep", as we shall see later on,speaking of the cubicle of deacon Severus.
