‘Incipit commentum Hali supra Centilogium Ptolomei. Dixit Ptolomeus: Iam scripsi tibi, Iesure, de hoc quod operantur stelle in hoc seculo… Scientia stellarum ex te et illis est. Astrologus non debet dicere rem specialiter sed universaliter… Mundanorum mutatur ad hoc et ad illud celestium corporum mutationem… Doctrina stellarum ex parte que ex illis est. Nec est doctrina in eis ut propheres (?) formam… (141rb) Dicit Ptolomeus, ex te et ex illis est, significat quod qui res futuras scire desiderat — et ego Deum deprecor ut te dilligat (!). Et perfecta est huius libri translatio tertia die mensis Martii et secunda die mensis Gimedi (!) secundi anno Arabum 530.
