Fourth hand (158r–269v, including the Ptolemaic sections): sloppy naskh in black, only occasionally dotted; numerous diagrams in black and red, empty space for a further diagram (213v). Yet another, larger naskh hand in black, partially dotted, with diagrams in red on ff. 73r–75r. An inserted slip of paper with additional figures (f. 101^bis).
