Deo Soli / invicto / Cl. N(e)ronia/nus v(otum) s(olvit) l(ibens) m(erito) / in templo / Mucapor/is sac(erdos).
Paulovics assigns this inscription to the beginning of the third cent. A.D. He is of the opinion that the name of Mucapor is Thracian and points to the occupation of the Ala I Thracum in Campona. According to him the presence of a second Mithraeum is possible in the neighbourhood of the Castra somewhere in the Ö-utca (Alt-Gasse).
