Textual: Ptolemy included astronomical tables in his Syntaxis, but republished them with an introduction in a second work, the 'Handy tables' (gr. Procheiroi kanones, lat. tabulae manuales). Theon of Alexandria wrote a 'Great commentary' on those tables (5 books; extant: books 1-3 and beginning of 4), and a 'Little commentary' (1 book; extant).
