Abstract: In a previous paper, nice quintinomial equations were given for unramified coverings of the affine line in nonzero characteristic $p$ with the projective symplectic isometry group PSp$(2m,q)$ and the (vectorial) symplectic isometry group Sp$(2m,q)$ as Galois groups where $m>2$ is any integer and $q>1$ is any power of $p$. Here we deform these equations to get nice quintinomial equations for unramified coverings of the once punctured affine line in characteristic $p$ with the projective symplectic similitude group PGSp$(2m,q)$ and the (vectorial) symplectic similitude group GSp$(2m,q)$ as Galois groups.
