‘Centilogium Ptholomei [title added in upper margin by a later hand]. Liber fructus Ptol<ome>i expositus a Bugafaro in quo sunt C verba. Dixit Tpol<omeu>s (!): Iam premisi libros in quibus tractavi de impressionibus planetarum in hoc mundo composito… Dixit Ptol<omeu>s: Sciencia astrorum ex te et illis, nec convenit peritum… Quod dixit Ptol<omeu>s, ex te et illis, significat quod qui res futuras prescire — acciditque in Egypto tunc quicquid dixit Pthol<omeus>. Hoc est quod ego malui exponere in hoc libro. Perfecta est eius exposicio. Laus tibi sit Christe quoniam liber explicit iste. Amen.’ = Pseudo-Ptolemy, Centiloquium (version 'Iam premisi') (B.1.5).
