\(x^3+y^3+z^3- 3xyz\) factors as \([(x^2+y^2+z^2)- (xy+xz+yz)] (x+y+z)\). The author takes \(m=y-x\), \(n=z-y\) and gets \(x+y+z= 3x+2m+n\), and the first factor equals \(m^2+mn+n^2\). So it is easy to get a solution for \(x\) in parameters \(m\), \(n\) and a power of the prime \(p\). The real question remains as to which powers of \(p\) can be represented by \(m^2+mn+n^2\).
