As the last step of a long development \textit{R. C. Baker} and \textit{G. Harman} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II.Ser. 25, 201-215 (1982; Zbl 0443.10015){]} proved that for fixed nonzero reals \(\lambda_ 1\), \(\lambda_ 2\), \(\lambda_ 3\) not having the same sign and \(\lambda_ 1/\lambda_ 2\) being irrational and for any real number \(\eta\) there are infinitely many prime triplets \(p_ 1\), \(p_ 2\), \(p_ 3\) satisfying \[ |\eta+\lambda_ 1p_ 1+\lambda_ 2p_ 2+\lambda_ 3p_ 3|<(\max p_ j)^{1/6+\varepsilon}. \leqno (1) \] On the other hand the reviewer [Arch. Math. 40, 434-440 (1983; Zbl 0517.10038){]} proved that there are infinitely many primes \(p\) satisfying \((2) \|\sqrt p\|<p^{-1/4+\varepsilon}\). This paper contains a hybrid of these two results by showing that (1) has infinitely many solutions in primes satisfying (2) but, of course, with weakened exponents in both places. The proof is based on the circle method.
