Millin, Voyage Midi, 503 n. 1 mentions, that on the same find-spot of the Aion "des colonnes de granit des marbres et une lampe" were found. This lamp is also mentioned by Rebatu in his manuscript. Through the ready intermediary of Louis F. Lachat, Keeper of the ArIes Museum, where the lamp is at the moment, we received a photograph and the data of Rebatu. The representation has nothing to do with Mithras. It is a man, cutting his victim in pieces with his sword (cf. MMM II, 404). See fig. 228.
