Separate consideration of properties of roots of Third Painlevé transcendents (PIII-functions) is necessary due to irregularity the differential equation defining them reveals on the subset of the phase space where its solution would vanish. Application of the Hamiltonian formalism enables one to replace the mentioned second order differential equation (Third Painlevé equation) by two independent systems of two nonlinear first order equations whose structures allow to name them coupled Riccati equations. The existence of PIII-functions vanishing at a given non-zero point then follows, all they being analytic thereat. The set ℤ2× ℂ (or ℤ2× ℝ) can be used for their indexing. It proves also to be natural to use as an unknown the third order derivative rather than the original nknown itself. After transformation of the corresponding differential equations to equivalent integral equations the efficient algorithm of the constructing of approximate solutions to Third Painlevé equation in vicinity of their non-zero root in the form of truncated power series is obtained. An example of its application is given, its numerical validation presenting results in a graphical form is carried out. The associated approximation applicable in vicinity of a pole of the corresponding PIII-function is given as well. The bounds from below for the distances between a pair of roots of a PIII-function and between a root and a pole representable in terms of elementary functions are derived.
