### A note on a tower by Bassa, Garcia and Stichtenoth

#### Abstract

In this note, we prove that the tower given by Bassa, Garcia and Stichtenoth in [4] is a subtower of the one given by Anbar, Beelen and Nguyen in [2]. This completes the study initiated in [16,2] to relate all known towers over cubic finite fields meeting Zink's bound with each other.
