PAL

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.

Astrologus non debet dicere rem specialiter sed universaliter… Dixit Ptholomeus ex te et illis, significat quod qui res futuras prenoscere desiderat — (93r) et quanto melius quivimus exposuimus. Ptho<lome>us in hoc libro tricas et tricarum nomina posuit… <S>telle cum caudis sunt novem — regibus et divitibus apparebit. Et hoc de cometis breviter distinximus.
