Let co, c1, …, cn-1 be the nonzero complex numbers and let C = (cu+1,v+1) = (cn+u-v), Ou,vn — 1, be a cyclic matrix, where n + uv is taken modulo n. In this paper we shall give the solution of the linear equations

where Lu (0≦un —1) is a fixed complex number. In Theorem 1 weshall give a necessary and sufficient condition for (1) to have an integral solution.
