Although the QSO PKS 2128 - 123 appears as highly variable in the I band, with Delta-I of up to 1.69 mag, it is a moderate amplitude variable object in the other bands of the present UBVRI observations. Excluding these I fluxes, the average continuum is well fitted by a power law when the Balmer continuum contribution, which enters the V band, has been removed. The variability parameter of only about 1 day implies a very compact source for the continuum.
