Abstract
A hard three-loop correction to parapositronium energy levels of order mα7 is calculated. This nonlogarithmic contribution is due to the insertions of one-loop photon propagator in the fermion lines in the diagrams with virtual two-photon annihilation. We obtained ΔE = 0.03297(2)(mα7 / π3) for this energy shift.
