In a recent paper [6], P. Seibt has obtained the following result: Let k be a field of characteristic 0, k[T1, … , Tr] the polynomial ring in r indeterminates over k, and let P be a prime ideal of k[T1, … , Tr]. Then a polynomial F belongs to the n-th symbolic power P(n) of P if and only if all higher derivatives of F from the 0-th up to the (n – l)-st order belong to P.

In this work we shall naturally generalize this result so as to be valid for primes of the polynomial ring over a perfect field k. Actually, we shall get a generalization as a corollary to a theorem which asserts: For regular primes P in a k-algebra R of finite type, a certain differential filtration of R associated with P coincides with the symbolic power filtration (P(n))n≧0.
