      In Ann. Pol. Math. 60, No. 2, 145-158 (1994; Zbl 0831.14017), \textit{T. Szemberg} showed that to a smooth curve of genus 2 one can attach in a canonical way an intermediate Kummer surface (having 12 double points) in \(\mathbb{P}^5\). Such a surface carries a \(4_3\) configuration of lines and conics. W. Barth asked the question: How many such configurations are there in \(\mathbb{P}^5\)? This paper should answer this question. It was quite surprising to find out that there are essentially no other configurations as those attached to Kummer surfaces. This also justifies the name given to them in the title.
