Abstract: Let $G$ be a finite cyclic group. Every sequence $S$ of length $l$ over $G$ can be written in the form $S=(n_{1}g)cdotldotscdot(n_{l}g)$ where $ginG$ and $n_1,ldots,n_{l}in[1,ord(g)]$, and the index $ind(S)$ of $S$ is defined to be the minimum of $(n_1+cdots+n_l)/ord(g)$ over all possible $ginG$ such that $langlegangle=G$. In this paper, we determine the index of any minimal zero-sum sequence $S$ of length 5 when $G=langlegangle$ is a cyclic group of a prime order and $S$ has the form $S=g^2(n_{2}g)(n_{3}g)(n_{4}g)$. It is shown that if $G=langlegangle$ is a cyclic group of prime order $pgeq31$, then every minimal zero-sum sequence $S$ of the above mentioned form has index 1 except in the case that $S=g^2(fracp-12g)(fracp+32g)((p-3)g)$.
