For h € ℝ and ϕ : ℝ2 → ℝ define Lhϕ: ℝ2 → ℝ by (Lhϕ)(x, y) = ϕ (x + h, y) + ϕ (x — h,y) — ϕ (x,y + h) — ϕ (x,y — h) for all (x,y) € ℝ2. The aim of the paper is to establish the following "stability" theorem concerning the functional equation

if δ > 0, f : ℝ2 → ℝ and

then there exists ɛ > 0 ami ϕ : ℝ2 → ℝ such that (Lhϕ)(x, y ) = 0 for all x, y,h ∊ ℝ and
