We show that given some natural conditions on a 3 × 3 hyperbolic matrix of integers A(det A = 1) there exists a Markov partition for the induced map A(x + ℤ3) = A(x)+ℤ3 on T3 whose transition matrix is (A−1)t. For expanding endomorphisms of T2 we construct a Markov partition so that there is a semiconjugacy from a full (one-sided) shift.
