على الشكل الرابع من تاسعة المجسطي للعرضي
ʿAlā l-shakl al-rābiʿ min tāsiʿat al-Majisṭī 〈li-l-ʿUrḍī〉
This is an abridged version of a short note on the fourth figure in Chapter IX.6 of Ptolemy’s Almagest. For the original version, see C.1.20. Two witnesses in Oxford contain this slightly abbreviated version and do not mention al-ʿUrḍī as the author. As is the case for other treatises in these two manuscripts, this abbreviation may very well go back to Quṭb al-Dīn al-Shīrāzī.
