			  Abstract
			  
			      Let K be the field of rational functions in 2
variables over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. Let D
be a finite dimensional K-central division algebra whose ramification
divisor on the projective plane over k is a singular cubic curve. It is
shown that D is cyclic and that the exponent of D is equal to the
degree of D.
