In this paper, we determine the set of algebraic points of degree at most 2 over  on the curve  given by the affine equation  Indeed, we consider a particular case of quotients of Fermat curves with the conditions   and  These curves are described by Sall in [4] who extended the work of Gross and Rohrlich in [2].

degree of algebraic points, rational points, algebraic extensions.
