In [6, 8], we showed that any ideal of $\mathbb{Z}_4[X]/(X^l\;-\;1)$ is generated by at most two polynomials of the `standard' forms when l is even. The purpose of this paper is to find the `standard' generators of the cyclic codes over $\mathbb{Z}_{p^a}$ of length a multiple of p, namely the ideals of $\mathbb{Z}_{p^a}[X]/(X^l\;-\;1)$ with an integer l which is a multiple of p. We also find an explicit description of their duals in terms of the generators when a = 2.
