[Image: Right and lower margins, a map of Asia Minor and the Levant as far as Egypt, continued from fol. 15v. Labels left to right and top to bottom: in left gutter (label: [a]rca [di]noe), and the city of (label: Nineve), with the Tigris, here (label: fiume nillo) with cities (label: baldac) and (label: Caldea) along it, flowing into the (label: arabico sinus). Below the Nile/Tigris, the river (label: Eufrates) and the city of (label: babillonia) along the Arabian Gulf, with Mecca (label: lameche) on the peninsula between the Gulf and the Red Sea (label: .M. rosso), with (label: Arabia) beyond. At bottom, the coast of the Mediterranean, with (label: damasco), (label: Monte libano), (label: Giudea), (label: gierusalem), the real Nile (label: fiume nillo), and a second city labeled (label: babillonia), actually Cairo/Fustat. Bodies of water have been painted in grey-green, with the exception of the Red Sea which has been painted in red. Each city on this map has been labeled in black and is accompanied by a depiction of a fortification. Two of the fortifications, specifically Caldea and the first babillonia, are flying the flag of St. George. There is a scribal note (note: Az) directing the artist to paint the bodies of water in azzurro (blue) at the top of the peninsula above the Red Sea. However, the pigment used appears to be more a grey-green than blue.]
