‘Mundanorum ad hoc et ad illud mutatio ex corporum celestium mutatione procedit, causas que rerum rimaturum primo corpora celestia contemplari, oportet. Ptolomeus: Item premisi libros in quibus tractavi de impressionibus planetarum in hoc mundo… Ptho<lome>us: Sciencia astrorum ex te et illis, nec convenit peritum illorum prophetare… Expositio. Quod dixit Ptolomeus, ex te et illis, significat quod cum qui res futuras prescire vult — (105ra) et quanto melius quivimus exposuimus. Tho<lome>us: Stelle cum caudis sunt 9 — in regibus et divitibus apparebit. Explicit liber anphorismorum.’ = Abuiafar Hamet filii Joseph, 〈Commentum in Centiloquium〉 (‘Mundanorum’ version) (C.3.1.3)
