Due to copyright restrictions I would not be allowed to post that so instead here's a link to a list compiled & annotated by Deborah Houlding extracted from Al Biruni's text The Book of Instruction in the Elements of the Art of Astrology, (written at Ghaznah, 1029 AD), following the R. Ramsay Wright translation (1934).can someone please write a list of all the lots and the formulas?

Zoller's book on "Arabic Parts" also has extensive Lots, and the most complete list of the numerous Greco/Roman Lots can be found in Greenbaum's "Late Classical Astrology".
In horary one can use a Lot as a more specific significator for the quesited matter, or as a secondary quesited significator as well; I find the use of Lots in horary very important (but then I follow an alternative horary methodology close to that of the oldtime Islamic horarists, who were famous for their use of Lots, hence the term "Arabic Parts"...although the Lots ACTUALLY originated-and had their most extensive application-with the Greco/Roman astrologers prior to the 7th century AD)
