_ (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.

Origin

Translated from the Greek by Federico Bonaventura (1555-1602) and published by him in 1592. Bonaventura used a Greek MS which belonged to Gian Vincenzo Pinelli (1535-1601), whose library was acquired by the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan in 1608, but no MS of the Phaseis is found there (see Heiberg).
