PAL

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.

Sed in eadem rursus］ Porro data poli altitudine et Solis obliquatione ad tempus quo cupis scire diei quantitatem, poteris facile per regulam sex quantitatum aut per rationum subtractionem eiusmodi diei quantitatem invenire, et pro omnibus diebus anni tabulam quantitas dierum, tuo ipsius marte, ad tuam elevationem polarem condere. Exempli gratia. Volumus scire diei quantitatem cum Sol ingreditur primum punctum Cancri ubi polus elevatur supra horizontem 46 gradus 51 minuta. Esto arcus BF altitudo poli data, BA complementum altitudinis polaris, FI complementum obliquationis solis datae, IT ipsa obliquatio Solis, EA quarta circuli; arcus TE quaeritur, qui est media pars differentiae inter diem aequinoctialem et diem paralleli nostri, ad quem decrevimus quaerere quantitatem diei. Facta solita duplatione et subtractione arcuum, et extractione chordarum, ordinavimus arcus et chordas iuxta formam quae sequitur. Et absolvimus opus nostrum.
