  We argue that the 3A2 state considered by Oles in Phys. Stat. Sol. (b) 236
(2003) 281 for the d2 system occurring in the V3+ ion in V2O3 and LaVO3 as well
as in Ti2+ ion in TiO and in many other oxides is wrong. The proper ground
state is 3T1g - its 9-fold degeneracy is further split in a crystal by
intra-atomic spin-orbit interactions and lattice distortions.
