Abstract
Let $r$ be a non-zero rational number. In \cite{o'desky-richman:incomplete-gamma}, a construction was given of a $p$-adic incomplete gamma-function $Γ_p(\cdot,r)$ for each prime $p$ for which $|r - 1|_p < 1$. Except in the special case where $r = 1$, only finitely many primes satisfy that condition for a given $r$. In the present paper, we give a construction that works under the much weaker condition that $|r|_p = 1$ using a $p$-adic integral transform we introduced in \cite{buckingham:factorial}. For any given $r$, this weaker condition holds for all except finitely many primes $p$.
