The modified Abel lemma on summation by parts is employed to investigate contiguous relations of classical hypergeometric 3F2-series. Several known and new two- and three-term relations are established. Inspired by the recent work due to Krattenthaler and Rivoal [Krattenthaler, C. and Rivoal, T., 2006, How can we escape Thomae's relations. Journal of Mathematical Society of Japan, 58, 183-210.], we shall construct further counter-examples to the conjecture made by Rhin and Viola [Rhin, G. and Viola, C. 2001, The group structure for ζ3. Acta Arithmatica, 97(3), 269-293.], which claims that two linearly dependent 3F2(1)-series of irrational values over satisfy one of Thomae's relations.
