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.

Rursus quando Venus fuerit in aliquo dictorum angulorum, ac precipueque in occidente, cum Saturno simul existens collocata aut etiam figurata autseu loca vissim permutans et Mars super eam fuerit elevatus, aut eam e diametro aspexerit, viri quidem impotentessteriles fiunt, mulieres vero aborsionibus aut intempestivis partubus seu embryonum incisionibus laborant, maxime autem in Cancro et Virgine et Capricorno. Et si Luna ab oriente †…t† Marti applicuerit, quod si cum Mercurio eodem modo figurabitur una cum Saturno et Mars rursus super eam fuerit elevatus, aut eam e diametro aspexerit, eunuchi aut hermaphroditi seu absque foramine clausi efficiuntur.
