Abstract: In a recent article, Cumplido and Paris studied the question of commensurability between Artin groups of spherical type. Their analysis left six cases undecided, for the following pairs of Artin groups:

(F_{4}, D_{4})

,

(H_{4}, D_{4})

,

(F_{4}, H_{4})

,

(E_{6}, D_{6})

,

(E_{7}, D_{7})

, and

(E_{8}, D_{8})

. In this note we resolve the first two of these cases, namely, we show that the Artin groups of types

F_{4}

and

H_{4}

are not commensurable with that of type

D_{4}

. As a key step, we realize the abstract commensurator of the Artin group of type

D_{4}

as the extended mapping class group of the torus with three punctures. We also find the automorphism group of the Artin group of type

D_{4}

and obtain a description of torsion elements, their orders and conjugacy classes in all irreducible Artin groups of spherical type modulo their centers.
