A p-adic supercongruence for a Ramanujan-type sum

From papers

Let p5(mod8)p\equiv 5\pmod{8} be a prime, and let (a)k=a(a+1)(a+k1)(a)_k=a(a+1)\cdots(a+k-1) denote the rising factorial. The p-adic supercongruence conjecture.

k=0p1(12k+1)(14)k2(18)k4kk!30(modp3).\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(12 k+1) \frac{(\frac{1}{4})_{k}^{2}(\frac{1}{8})_{k}}{4^{k} k !^{3}} \equiv 0 \pmod {p^3}.

This is presented as a stronger version of a previously proved congruence modulo p2p^2, based on numerical calculations; its status is open in the source.
