Abstract: In this paper we find a third order unimodular matrix, none of whose entries is $1$ or $-1$, such that when each entry of the matrix is replaced by its cube, the resulting matrix is also unimodular. Further, we find third order square integer matrices $(a_{ij})$, none of the integers $a_{ij}$ being $1$ or $-1$, such that $det(a_{ij})=k$ and $det(a_{ij}^3)=k^3$, where $k$ is a nonzero integer.
