‘Incipit Centiloquium Ptolomei. Scientia astrorum ex te et illis est. Et non oportet peritum illorum iudicare secundum formam effectuum particularium — (24ra) et si non ambulaverit rebellis est de eodem climate etc. Explicit Centiloquium Ptolomei. (24rb) Incipit commentum super Centiloquium Ptolomei. Mundanorum ad hoc et ad illud mutacio est corporum celestium… 1. Scientia astrorum ex te et illis est. Astrologus non debet dicere rem specialiter et (!) universaliter… Quod dixit, ex te et illis, significat quod qui res futuras prenoscere desiderat — quanto melius potuimus exposuimus. Explicit commentum super Centiloquium Ptolomei astrologi.’ = Abuiafar Hamet filius Joseph, 〈Commentum in Centiloquium〉 (‘Mundanorum’ version) (C.3.1.3)
