Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus

_ (the underscore) is the placeholder for exactly one character.
% (the percent sign) is the placeholder for no, one or more than one character.
%% (two percent signs) is the placeholder for no, one or more than one character, but not for blank space (so that a search ends at word boundaries).

At the beginning and at the end, these placeholders are superfluous.

‘Ad videndum fortunam et infortunam omni homini et utrum unocuique homini bene aut male debeat succedere omnibus diebus sue vite, videbis in presenti libro secundum philosophos astronomos subscriptum. Ad inveniendum signum nativitatis cuiuslibet hominis, recipe nomen eius et nomen sue matris… Inferiori corpori reguntur a superioribus ut patet per astrologos et sapientes… (1v) Nota primum signum de Ariete. Natus sub Ariete, a medio Martii usque ad medium Aprilis, erit magne industrie, nec dives nec multum pauper — die Martis et Saturni mali istis fideliter viventibus, tam viris quam mulieribus. Amen.’
