Praise be to God who made the sun a light and the moon a light and spread it out on a carpet
Simple in shade and heat, green with signs and a lamp
He reduced the dust with meadows and barns and extended a deserted sea
Ends (f. 100v, lines 5-7):
...and ten days and twenty-one hours
Except for one minute and three-fifths of a minute from the minutes of hours as it went
To him Al-Battani, as is well known to those who have knowledge in arithmetic, and God is the quickest of reckoners
