denotes a collection of 100 sentences, opinions, or sayings.

The centiloquium of Hermes contains 100 aphorisms, or astrological sentences, supposed to have been written by some Arab, falsely fathered on Hermes Trismegistus. It is only extant in Latin, in which it has several times been printed.—The centiloquium of Ptolemy is a famous astrological piece, frequently confounded with the former, consisting likewise of 100 sentences or doctrines, divided into short aphorisms, entitled allo in Greek μαγείας, as being the fruit or result of the former writings of that celebrated astronomer, viz. his quadripartitum and almagestum; or rather, by reason that herein is shown the use of astrological calculations.
