From Example 1 in §2, we know that 5 is a primitive root modulo 23, and φ(23)=22. First, list Table 1 in the order of indices, as it is easier to compute the absolute least residues of 5j modulo 23. Arranging according to the size order of the absolute least reduced residue system, Table 1 becomes Table 2.

From the table, we know that the primitive roots modulo 23 (i.e., elements with order 22) are 10, and they are:
−9,−8,−6,−4,−3,−2,5,7,10,11
Elements with order 11 are 10, and they are:
−11,−10,−7,−5,2,3,4,6,8,9
The element with order 2 is one: -1. The element with order 1 is one: 1.
Regarding the index sets γa,−1,g0(−1)(a),γa,−1,g0(0)(a) for m=2a(α⩾3), we only discuss the case g0=5, and denote them simply as γ(−1)(a),γ(0)(a).
