  In this paper we revisit the Adler-Bobenko-Suris H2 equation. The H2 equation
is linearly related to the $S^{(0,0)}$ and $S^{(1,0)}$ variables in the Cauchy
matrix scheme. We elaborate the coupled quad-system of $S^{(0,0)}$ and
$S^{(1,0)}$ in terms of their 3-dimensional consistency, Lax pair, bilinear
form and continuum limits. It is shown that $S^{(1,0)}$ itself satisfies a
9-point lattice equation and in continuum limit $S^{(1,0)}$ is related to the
eigenfunction in the Lax pair of the Korteweg-de Vries equation.
