Patsch in WMBH IV, 1896, 292 and fig. (cf. MMM II 502 No. 234ter and fig. 446; Grabičević in AJ I, 1954, 38 No. 21) mentions a Mithraeum at Nefertara near Plevlje: "Über einen tiefen von einem Waldbache durchrauschten Schlucht erhebt sich die steile Felswand Preslica mit einem von Gestrüpp überwucherten Vorsprung gegen den Bach". In this rock at the height of about one m. is a semicircular niche, to which a relief was attached as is clearly shown by a hole. The relief is now lost. Next to the niche an inscription, carved out in the rocky wall.
