Abstract
In a paper of 2002 Stefania Ferri gave a characterization of a quadric cone in PG(3, q). The statement of the theorem is true, but the first part of the proof does not work. The same author in a paper of 2004 gave a new correct, but quite tedious, proof of that part. In this short note we prove the first part in a simpler way.
