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.

Facsimile

fuisse 176 dies, horam unam, et tertiam unius et Solis cursum verum in eo 168 gradus 33 minuta. Erravit igitur in tempore intervalli in medietate et tertia et decima unius hore fere et in cursu Solis in quinta et sexta unius partis. Ex hoc igitur errore provenire potuit ut diversas proportiones ecentricitatis ad semidiametrum ecentrici et semidiametri epicicli ad lineam inter centrum mundi et centrum epicicli reperiret.

Finis quarti.
