[For the entire collection see Zbl 0748.00018.] The authors consider sharply 3-transitive permutation sets of the projective line \(GL(1,\rho^ m)\) (with \(\rho\) odd, \(\rho^ m>9)\) and distinguish among them the group \(GL(2,\rho^ m)\). Since the sharply 3- transitive permutation set \(G\) determines a Minkowski plane \({\mathcal M}(G)\) (and conversely), and miquelian planes correspond to (full) projective linear groups, the problem can be rephrased as follows: to characterize (by means of algebra) among sharply 3-transitive permutation sets \(G\) acting on \(PG(1,\rho^ m)\) this, which yields miquelian \({\mathcal M}(G)\). The solution given in the paper is the following. The set \(G\) must contain all the involutions of \(PG(1,\rho^ m)\) and must be closed under powers (i.e. if \(f\in G\), then \(f^ n\in G\) for every natural \(n)\).
