    The author considers a first-order \(4\times 4\) system of partial differential operators with constant coefficients in \(\mathbb{R}^3\): NEWLINE\[NEWLINEP=D_t+A_1 D_{x_1} +A_2 D_{x_2}.NEWLINE\]NEWLINE The author assumes \(P\) uniformly diagonalizable; that is equivalent to the strong hyperbolicity of \(P\), according to a result of \textit{K. Kasahara} and \textit{M. Yamaguti} [Mem. Coll. Sci., Univ. Kyoto, Ser. A 33, 1-23 (1960; Zbl 0098.29702)]. Assuming further that the characteristic manifold has a triple point, the author proves pre-symmetry of the matrix-symbol. The proof is obtained by means of a careful study of the possible different canonical forms.
