      Prym varieties associated to unramified triple cyclic covers are studied. We construct the Prym map from the moduli space of curves of genus \(g\) with such a cover to a certain moduli space of abelian varieties of dimension 2g-2 with a non-principal polarization and with an automorphism of order three. The main theorem is that for \(g=4\) this Prym map is generically finite of degree \(16;\) moreover, the general fiber carries a \((16_ 6)\) Kummer structure.
