Abstract: We describe further improvements of the $\eta_T$ pairing algorithm in characteristic three. Our approach combines the loop unrolling technique introduced by Granger {\em et. al} for the Duursma-Lee algorithm, and a novel algorithm for multiplication over $\mathbb{F}_{3^{6m}}$ proposed by Gorla {\em et al.} at SAC 2007. For $m=97$, the refined algorithm reduces the number of multiplications over $\mathbb{F}_{3^m}$ from $815$ to $692$.
