    The arithmetic of quaternion algebras is used to give a necessary and sufficient criterion for the representability of rational numbers by the form \[ Ax^ 2+By^ 2-ABz^ 2,\quad A,B\in\mathbb Z. \] As a byproduct, the well known criterion for the representability of an integer as a sum of three squares is reproved.
