‘Centilogium Ptholomei. Mundanorum ad hoc et ad illud mutatio corporum celestium… Scientia stellarum ex te et ex illis est etc. Astrologus non debet dicere rem specialiter sed universaliter… Quod dicit Ptholomeus, ex te et ex illis, significat quod qui res futuras prenoscere desiderat — et quanto melius quivimus exposuimus. Ptholomeus in hoc loco tricas et tricarum nomina posuit… Stelle autem cum caudis sunt novem — post argentum rosa nigra. Et in hoc est finis huius Centiloquii Deo gratias. Explicit Centiloquium. Amen. Finis Centiloquii. Sit laus Deo. Amen.’ = Abuiafar Hamet filius Joseph, 〈Commentum in Centiloquium〉 (‘Mundanorum’ version) (C.3.1.3)
