Abstract: In this paper, we investigate a nonlinear non-autonomous elliptic difference equation, which was constructed by Ramani, Carstea and Grammaticos by integrable deautonomization of a periodic reduction of the discrete Krichever-Novikov equation, or Q4. We show how to construct it as a birational mapping on a rational surface blown up at eight points in mathbbP1imesmathbbP1, and find its affine Weyl symmetry, placing it in the geometric framework of the Painlev'e equations. The initial value space is ell-A0(1) and its symmetry group is W(F4(1)). We show that the deautonomization is consistent with the lattice-geometry of Q4 by giving an alternative construction, which is a reduction from Q4 in the usual sense. A more symmetric reduction of the same kind provides another example of a second-order integrable elliptic difference equation.
