Abstract: As for the unique continuation property (UCP) of solutions in $(0,T)imesOmega$ with a domain $Omegasubset{mathbbR}^n,,ninmathbbN$ for a multi-terms time fractional diffusion equation, we have already shown it by assuming that the solutions are zero for $tle0$ (see cite{LN2019}). Here the strongly elliptic operator for this diffusion equation can depend on time and the orders of its time fractional derivatives are in $(0,2)$. This paper is a continuation of the previous study. The aim of this paper is to drop the assumption that the solutions are zero for $tle0$. We have achieved this aim by first using the usual Holmgren transformation together with the argument in cite{LN2019} to derive the UCP in $(T_1,T_2)imes{B}_1$ for some $0<T_1<T_2<T$ and a ball $B_{1}subsetOmega$. Then if $u$ is the solution of the equation with $u=0$ in $(T_1,T_2)imes{B}_1$, we show $u=0$ also in $((0,T_1]cup[T_2,T))imes{B}_r$ for some $r<1$ by using the argument in cite{LN2019} which uses two Holmgren type transformations different from the usual one. This together with spatial coordinates transformation, we can obtain the usual UCP which we call it the classical UCP given in the title of this paper for our time fractional diffusion equation.
