During a search for flaring optical counterparts to γ-ray burst sources (GRBs) on archival patrol plates, an optical outburst image was found in the 3200 arcmin2 error box of the GRB which occurred on 1978 October 6 (GB 781006B = GBS 0008+13; Greiner et al. 1991) and was named S 10933 according to the convention of new Sonneberg variables. This outburst image appears on three simultaneously exposed plates taken on 1966 August 14/15 from 23.33 to 0.13 UT. The brightness estimates yielded mpg = 13m.3 ± 0m.1 and mv = 13m.8 ± 0m.2 with a high negative colour index of C = −0m.5 ± 0m.3.
