    \textit{A. Lucchini} [Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei, Cl. Sci. Fis. Mat. Nat., IX. Ser., Rend. Lincei, Mat. Appl. 9, No. 4, 241-243 (1998; Zbl 0940.20006)] proved that if a point-stabilizer \(A\) in a transitive permutation group of degree \(m>1\) is cyclic, then \(|A|<m\). The author proves here a stronger result: if a point-stabilizer \(A\) in a transitive permutation group of degree \(m>1\) is Abelian, then \(\exp(A)<m\).
