272ra	‘… hoc in loco huic libro Deo volente finem imponere non incongruum existimamus. Explicit liber … (?) Ptholomei in iudicandi discretione per stellas de futuris in hoc mundo constitutionis et destructionis contingentibus. Deo gratias. Et perfecta est eius translatio de Arabico in Latinum a Tiburtino Platone, cui Deus parcat, die Veneris, hora tercia XX^ma die mensis Octobras, anno domini MCXXXVIII^o, XV die mensis Saphar, anno Arabum DXXXIII^o, in civitate Barchinona. Et Deus nos custodiat et actus nostros dirigat. Tu autem, domine, miserere nostri. Deo gratias.’ = Ptolemy, Quadripartitum (tr. Plato of Tivoli) (A.2.1) , last column only comprising the end of the text. No glosses.
272rb–⁠289vb	Dicit Ptholomeus: Iam scripsi tibi libros de hoc quod operantur stelle in hoc seculo… Verbum primum [title added by the glossator]. Scientia stellarum ex te et illis est… Expositio [title added by the glossator]. Quod dicit Ptholomeus, ex te et illis, significat quod qui res futuras prenoscere desiderat — et ego Deum deprecor ut te diligat. Perfecta est huius libri translatio 17 die mensis Mercur<ii> (!), 12 die mensis Iumedi secundi anno Arabum 530’ (followed by an explicit added by the hand that copied f. 289vb-290vb: ‘Explicit liber Centilogii Ptholomei qui perfectus fuit cum magno labore die Iovis post Brandones parum ante pulsationem matutinam in castello. Valete domine Thoma’). = Abuiafar Hamet filius Joseph, 〈Commentum in Centiloquium〉 (tr. Plato of Tivoli) (C.3.1.1) . Glosses by a contemporary hand f. 280v and 281v, the former of which is a copy, in the margin of v. 51, of Pseudo-Ptolemy’s Dixerunt Ptholomeus et Hermes quod locus Lune… (see below). On the same page (280v), a later (?) hand added further notes related to the topic: ‘Ad inveniendum horam conceptionis sive casus spermatis dicit <Al>bubater…’. Two short marginal notes by two yet different hands on f. 281r.
280v	‘Hermes et Ptho<lemeus> (?) d<ixerunt> (?) quod locus Lune in hora qua funditur sperma — expertus fuit multociens’ = Pseudo-Ptolemy, Dixerunt Ptolemeus et Hermes quod locus Lune... (B.5) , as a gloss to v. 51 of the Centiloquium above.
