Tral tarso et antiochecta dricta via
Cipri isola infra mare sta discosta
Un ciento miglia dove nicosia
Cicta reale fra terra e/ famagosta
Che fu gran porto di mercatantia
Sul mare doriente e quella costa
Dillysola girando e/ cinque cento
E per lungheçça son miglia duciento
Tralla lecha e/ tortosa ad oriente
Lisosa decta guata la marina
Et per dricta çona in ver ponente
Guarda rodi e modon e poi messina
Echalliu e maiorcha epoiseguente
Vallença aportogallo et e/ vicina
Famagosta abaruti per due .cc.
Ensino allexandria per un .c.
Dantrochecta arodi per quel vento
Decto di sopra sanza costeggiare
Ricto pileggio son miglia trecento
Ma converracti due golfi lasciare
Che sarrebbe piu longha da duciento
Miglia la costa avolerla girare
Nel primo e/ candeloro e desetelia
Elaltro pare che quelli di matrisia
[Image: Right margin, oriented with East at the top, a portolan-style map of the northeastern part of the Mediterranean coast, which is freely outlined in ink and shaded with a green wash. The island of Cyprus (label: cipri.) appears near the top, washed light brown, with the cities of Famagusta (label: famagosta) and Nicosia (label: nicosia). Below that, the island of Rhodes (label: rodi) appears in red. Between the two islands, the Mediterranean Sea is named (label: pontus.). A distance line between the two islands is labeled in unidentified units (label: 300). To the right, two other numbers (labels: 200 and [700?]) are not associated with visible distance lines. Various ports are labeled along the coasts of modern Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey; starting from the southernmost port (the top right of the page) and moving north and west (counterclockwise), they are: Beirut (label: baruti), Tartus (label: tortosa), [Latakia/Laodiceia?] (label: la lecha), [Alajah?] (label: la laha), Tarsus (label: tarso), Corycus (label: curchio.), Polopoli (label: palopoli.), [?] (label: artiozetta.), Alanya (label: candelor), Antalya (label: satelia.), Fethiye (label: macri), and [Kastellorizo/Meyisti?] (label: messi).]
