Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-4):

الحمد لله الذي جعل الشمس ضياء والقمر نورًا وبسط على بساط

البسيط ظلًا وحرورًا رفع خضراء ذات بروج وسراج

وخفض غبراء ذات مروج وفجاج ومد بحرًا مسجورًا

Ends (f. 100v, lines 5-7):

... وعشرة أيام وإحدى وعشرون ساعة

إلا دقيقة وثلثة أخماس دقيقة من دقائق الساعات على ما ذهب

إليه البتاني كما لا يخفى على من له درية في الحساب والله أسرع الحاسبين
