In [Acta Arith. 69, 387-400 (1995; Zbl 0826.11046)], \textit{D. I. Tolev} studied the solubility of the system of inequalities \(|p_1^{c_i}+\cdots +p_5^{c_i}-N_i|<\epsilon_i(N_i)\) (\(i=1\), 2), where the \(c_i\)'s are larger than but close to 1. He proved that the system has a solution provided that some necessary simultaneous growth conditions for \(N_1\) and \(N_2\) hold, and with explicit \(\epsilon_i(N_i)\), if \(1<c_1<c_2<35/34\). The author considers the similar system \([p_1^{c_i}]+\cdots +[p_5^{c_i}]=N_i\) (\(i=1\), 2) (where \([x]\) denotes the integral part of \(x\)) and gives the asymptotic formula for the number of solutions in the range \(1<c_1<c_2<39/38\), with a growth condition on \(N_1\) and \(N_2\) analogous to the one given by Tolev. Only the outline of the proof is given.
