Nonbulk superconductivity with a pressure-dependent signal size has been detected but only between 2 and 43 kbar in ${\mathrm{Eu}}_{1.2}$${\mathrm{Mo}}_6$${\mathrm{S}}_8$ quasihydrostatically. The results not only shed light on the occurrence of superconductivity in this compound but also provide insight to the nature of the superconductivity observed.
