Stromgren by photometry of the detached A-type eclipsing binary EG Ser
pentis was obtained. Combined with the radial velocity curves in Poppe
r [PASP, 98, 1312 (1986)], it was used to determine anew the system's
parameters using the Wilson-Devinney code. The age of the system is de
rived from a comparison with the Bertelli et al. [A&AS, 85, 845 (1990)
] isochrones. Within the accuracy limits, the results are in accordanc
e with expectations.
