ومما أملأه الفقيه محمد بن أحمد الخزاعي في عدد الوفق قال ونرسمه بصورة تأتلف من
أعداد محمولة لأشكال موضوعة فكل شكل ينكسر بقدر مربع جانبه موضوعات في كل موضوع محمول
لها من العدد لأعلى الترتيب إلا الشكل الفرد ...
Colophon of excerpt on magic squares (f. 131r, lines 16-17):
... تم الإملاء بحمد لله ومنه
بتأريخ 2 شهر جمادى الأولى سنة 1036 والحمد لله وحده وصلى الله على من لا نبي بعده وآله وصحبه وسلم
Ends (f. 132v, lines 8-11):
شخص مات وخلف خمسة عشر ذكورًا فورث خمسة النصف وخمسة الثلث وخسمة السدس والجواب والله أعلم
أن يكون عشرة لأم فيرثوا الثلث فيصير لكل خمسة السدس وخمسة من هؤلاء العشرة بنواعم والخمسة الباقين
بنواعم أيضًا فيرهوا الثلثين فيصير مع الخمسة بني العم الذين هم أخوة لأم الثلث مع السدس المتقدم فيصير معهم النصف
ويرثوا مع الخمسة بني العم الذين ليسوا بإخوة لأم الثلث وللخمسة الأخوة للأم فقط السدس والله أعلم
