Denote by \(N_{a,b,c,d,e}\) the algebraic curve over \(\mathbb {Q}\) with affine equation given by \(\begin{aligned} N_{a,b,c,d,e}: ax^4+bx^2+cy^2+dy+e=0. \end{aligned}\) In this paper, we find an expression for the number of \(\mathbb {F}_q\) -points on \(N_{a,b,c,d,e}\) in terms of p-adic \(F_3\) -Appell series, extending a relation of the same with finite field \(F_3\) -Appell series to all primes. In addition, we deduce certain transformation formulas for the p-adic \(F_3\) -Appell series analogous to their finite field and classical counterparts.
