    The authors consider constant mean curvature (CMC) tori \(\Sigma\) embedded in \(S^3\) and prove that: {\parindent=0.6cm\begin{itemize}\item[(1)] every such \(\Sigma\) is a surface of revolution; \item[(2)] if \(\Sigma\) is not congruent to a Clifford torus, then there exists \(m\in\{2, 3, \ldots\}\) such that \(\Sigma\) is invariant under a cyclic group \(\mathbb{Z}_m\) of isometries; \item[(3)] for each \(m\) there exists at most one such \(\Sigma\); \item[(4)] given \(m\) there exists a CMC torus \(\Sigma\) with maximal symmetry \(S^1\times\mathbb{Z}_m\) and mean curvature \(H\) if only \(|H|\) lies between \(\cot (\pi /m)\) and \((m^2 - 2)/ (2\sqrt{m^2 -1 })\); \item[(5)] if \(H\in \{ 0, \pm 1/\sqrt{3}\}\), then every CMC torus \(\Sigma\) of mean curvature \(H\) is congruent to the Clifford one. \end{itemize}} The authors mention that their essential contribution are items (1) and (3); given these, items (2), (4) and (5) follow from the results of \textit{O. M. Perdomo} [Asian J. Math. 14, No. 1, 73--108 (2010; Zbl 1213.53080)].
