Abstract
For the family of Kummer surfaces of the square of an elliptic curve over the prime field with odd, we show that if the automorphism group acts transitively on the set of points then the action is at least alternating. This is analogous to a result of Meiri, Puder, and Chen arXiv:1702.08358 on the points mod of the Markoff surface.
