Summary:  With every path on P{1}{Q} {0,1,∞} there is associated a measure on Z{p}. The group Z{p}{×} acts on measures. We consider two measures. One measure is associated to a path from {01} to a root of unity ξ of order prime to p. Another measure is associated to a path from {01} to ξ{−1} and next it is acted by −1 ∈ Z{p}{×}. We show that the sum of these measures can be defined in a very elementary way. Integrating against this sum of measures we get p-adic Hurwitz zeta functions constructed previously by Shiratani.
