\239v\ ⟨…⟩ قال قد قدّمنا لك يا سورس کتبًا فيما تؤثّره الكواكب في عالم التركيب كثير المنفعة في تقدمة المعرفة وهذا الكتاب ثمرة ما اشتملت عليه تلك الكتب وما خلّص عن التجربة منها وليس يصل إلى معرفته من لم يمعن النظر فيما قدّمنا قبله وفي علوم آخر من علوم الرياضيّة فكن به سعيدًا. ⟨…⟩ — \248v\ ⟨…⟩ وإن كان ذو الذوابة تسير وسيره أبدًا يكون من المغرب إلى المشرق فإنّ الخارجيّ يأتي من بعيد إلى الإقليم فإن لم يكن سائرًا فإنّ الخارجيّ من حظيرة الإقليم. تمّ كتاب الثمرة المسمّى بالروميّة انطر رمطا ومعناه المائة الكلمة. = Pseudo-Ptolemy, Kitāb al-Thamara (B.1.1), version with 102 verba. — |
