The paper deals with third-order differential equations with deviating argument of the type \[ y'''(t) + a(t)y''(t)+ b(t)y'(t)+c(t)f(y(g(t)))=0 \;. \tag{1} \] Under rather technical assumptions on the coefficients \( a, b, c \) the author studies the asymptotic behaviour of nonoscillatory solutions to (1), proving that they tend to \(\pm \infty\) or to zero as \(t \to \infty\). Moreover, an example is provided in which the difference in the nature of solutions, due to the presence of delay, is shown. Finally, a sufficient condition in order to guarantee that any bounded solution to (1) which has at least a zero is oscillatory, is furnished in the case \(g(t) \geq t\).
