Recently, Q.-P. Ding et al. reported that their nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study on EuCo₂As₂ successfully characterized the antiferromagnetic (AFM) propagation vector of the incommensurate helix AFM state, showing that NMR is a unique tool for determination of the spin structures in incommensurate helical AFMs. Motivated by this work, we have carried out ¹⁵³Eu, ³¹P, and ⁵⁹Co NMR measurements on the helical antiferromagnet EuCo₂P₂ with an AFM ordering temperature T_N = 66.5 K. An incommensurate helical AFM structure was clearly confirmed by ¹⁵³Eu and ³¹P NMR spectra on single-crystalline EuCo₂P₂ in zero magnetic field at 1.6 K and its external magnetic field dependence. Furthermore, based on ⁵⁹Co NMR data in both the paramagnetic and incommensurate AFM states, we have determined the model-independent value of the AFM propagation vector k = (0,0,0.73±0.09)2π/c, where c is the c-axis lattice parameter. As a result, the temperature dependence of k is also discussed.
