The Downfall of Pompeii

How many Pompeii and Omen cards go below the A.D. 79 card during setup?
The rulebook gives the count of 15 directly, and the four-player variant comes from one forum report.

Fifteen, whatever the number of players. When the first A.D. 79 card is drawn, the bottom 15 cards of the stock are counted off, the card is shuffled in with them, and the pile goes back under the stock. A 2011 forum post says the printed instructions use 10 for four players so the eruption comes later, but the rulebook gives no such rule.
