We continue the study of the construction of analytical coefficients of the ε-expansion of hypergeometric functions and their connection with Feynman diagrams. In this paper, we show the following results:
Theorem A: The multiple (inverse) binomial sums
$\sum_{j=1}^\infty\frac{1}{\binom{2j}{j}^k}\frac{z^j}{j^c} S_{a_1}(j-1)  \cdots S_{a_p}(j-1)   ,$
where k = ±1, Sa(j) is a harmonic series, Sa(j) = ∑jk = 1 1/ka, and c is any integer number are expressible in terms of Remiddi-Vermaseren functions;
Theorem B: The hypergeometric functions
${}_pF_{p-1}\bigg(\vec{A} \!+\! \vec{a}\ep;               \vec{B} \!+\! \vec{b} \ep, \frac{1}{2} \!+\! B_{p-1}; z\bigg)  , \qquad {}_pF_{p-1}\bigg(\vec{A} \!+\! \vec{a}\ep, \frac{1}{2} \!+\! A_{p} ;               \vec{B} \!+\! \vec{b} \ep ;z\bigg)  ,$
are expressible in terms of the harmonic polylogarithms of Remiddi and Vermaseren with coefficients that are ratios of polynomials.
