Let \(T\) be the union of \(3\) lines in an affine plane \(\mathcal A\) over a (skew) field \(K\). The author describes the maps \(\lambda:T\to T\) which preserve collinearity, fix the \(3\) vertices of \(T\), and are injective at these vertices, by \(3\) self-maps of \(K\) satisfying an identity equivalent to Menelaos' theorem. A simplification is obtained, if the domain contains at least one additional point. The result is then applied to lineations of affine spaces. [For a survey on lineations, cf. \textit{D. S.
