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.

horoscopo pone⟨re⟩ et in totam figuram erigere ex qua iudicabuntur precipua accidentia parentum.

⟨III.5⟩ Caput 5

Ex horoscopo patris et medii caeli iudicabimus de fratribus et sororibus progenitis ex eodem patre, prout illa signa masculina vel faeminina, vel prout habuerint figuram simplicem vel bicorpoream, plures vel paucas stellas, beneficas vel non similiter, ex horoscopo matris et MC iudicabimus de progenitis ex eadem matre.

⟨III.6⟩ Caput 6

Ut sciamus an natus sit masculus vel faemina, consideranda luminaria et horoscopus et MC et per in homines dominium habentes, nam si plura signa et plures planetae fuerint masculini, masculus erit natus atque haec certius iudicantur ex hora conceptionis.

⟨III.7⟩ Caput 7

Gemelli nascuntur si plura signa bicorporea fuerint in locis insignibus et si planetae plures aspexerint, haec signa erunt masculi vel faemine, prout fuerint planetae aspicientes signa vel luminaria.
