‘<D>ixit Ptholomeus: Iam scripsi tibi, Yesure, et libros de hoc quod operantur stelle in seculo… Scientia stellarum ex te et illis est… Quod dixit Ptholomeus, ex te et illis, significat quod qui res futuras — (62rb) quanto melius qui vivimus (!) exposuimus. Pth<olome>us: Iste cum caudis sunt VIIII — in regibus et in divitibus apparebit. Et non intelligas solum hoc multis terris sed etiam in aliis secundum divisionem signorum quia diversa super diversas regiones habent signare. Explicit Centologium (!) Ptholomei commentatum ab Hely philosopho.’ = Abuiafar Hamet filius Joseph, 〈Commentum in Centiloquium〉 (‘Mundanorum’ version) (C.3.1.3)
