In this paper we establish a relationship between the rational solutions (x(t), y(t)), over C(t), of the diophantine equation:

and the solutions which parametrize the elliptic curve E, y2 = 4x3 — g2x — g3 admitting complex multiplication by λ. We first characterize the form of all rational solutions of diophantine equation (1). The rational solutions are derivable from the subsititutions

in which μ = 0,ω1,ω2,ω1 + ω2 = ω3. Using techniques established in elliptic function theory, we prove that the complex multiplier λ, associated with a unique rational solution (x(t), y(t)), must be of a certain form. Next we construct all rational solutions of diophantine equation (1) by using the addition theorems valid for the Weierstrass function, Specific examples are finally worked out for the cases
