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.

‘Mundanorum ad hoc et ad illud mutacio corporum celestium… Scientia stellarum ex te et illis est. Astrologus non debet dicere rem specialiter sed universaliter… Quod dixit Pthol<ome>us, ex te et illis, significat quod qui res futuras prenoscere desiderat — (33r) et quanto melius quivimus exposuimus. Ptolomeus in hoc loco tricas et tricarum nomina posuit… (33v) Stelle cum caudis sunt novem — regibus et divitibus apparebit. Explicit Centiloquium Ptholomei.’
