This paper studies two comments made by the Andalusian astronomer Maslama al-Majrīṭī to Thābit's book on al-Shakl al-qaṭṭā\(^ c\) (The Sector Figure): The first comment contains a detailed treatment of Menelaus' theorem and the second applies the sector figure to the calculations which are necessary to construct an astrolabe. It underlines the role played by Maslama in the transmission to the West of Ptolemaic ideas on the stereographic projection. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0855.00012].
