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.

Deinde si in unius figure signo Luna fuerit collocata aut cum uno planeta coniuncta, unam solum uxorem ducere facit, si vero in bicorporeo signo aut multarum figurarum fuerit posita, vel cum pluribus stellis in eodem signo coniunctis, multas faciet ducere uxores. Et si planete quibus Luna aut secundum adhesiones aut secundum testimonia applicuerit fuerint benefici, bonas uxores sortientur, si autem malefici, per contrarium. Saturnus enim Lune applicans laboriosas facit uxores et austeras, Iupiter autem honestas et dispensatrices, Mars vero temerarias et indomitas, Venus letas, pulchras et gratiosas, Mercurius prudentes et acutas. Venus preterea cum Iove quidem aut Saturno aut Mercurio utiles ad vitam uxores facit virorumque ac filiorum amatrices, cum Marte vero furibundas, instabiles ac perfidas.
