¶ Tra tarso e antiocieta drita via
Cipri infra mare sta discosta
Un cento miglia dove -e- nichosia
Cita riale fra terra e famagosta
Che fa gram porto di merchadantia
Sul mare da oriente e quella costa
De l’insula girando e cinquecento
E per lungeça sum milia ducento

¶ Tra la lecia e tortosa ad oriente
L’insula dicta guata la marina
E per dricta çona inver ponente
Guarda rodi modone e poi miscina
Challeri e Maioricha e poi seguente
Vallentia portogallo ed e vicina
Famagosta a baruti per due cento
Insino ad alexandria per un vento

¶ D’antiocieta e Rodi per quel vento
Dicto di sopra sença costegiare
Ritto pelegio son miglia tricento
Ma coniurati dui golfi lassare
Che serebbe piu lunga da ducento
Miglia la costa a volerla girare
Nel primo e candelloro e satalia
E l’altro che quel di machri sia

[image, left and upper margin: Coastal map of north-eastern corner of Mediterranean, Rhodes to Tyre. Ocean painted aquamarine with wave pattern in grey. In top margin, depiction of a fortified city in reddish-brown with blue spires and domes. In margin left of ¶ 3, an island painted red with a white cross. Left of ¶ 1, another island, untinted. Placenames, from upper left, across top margin, in red ink: (label: Alexandria) (label: Soldino) (label: lalecia) (label: tortosa) (label: tripoli de Soria) (label: Baruti) (label: Saitto) (label: Surro). In left margin, from bottom to top, text inverted, in red ink: (label: Messi), (label: Macri), (label: Satalio), (label: Candeloro), (label: Antiocieta), (label: Palopoli), (label: Curcho), (label: tarsso), (label: laiaccia). Island near ¶ 1, in red ink: (label: famagosta); in sea beneath, in red ink (label: isola de cipri). Above island, left of ¶ 3, in red ink, (label: Rodi).]

It is a straight line between Tarsus and Antiochetta.
Cyprus is one hundred miles off the coast
in the middle of the sea— this is where Nicosia is,
a regal city surrounded by land, as well as Famagusta
which [>>>fu] used to be a great commercial port,
facing the sea on the east. And the coast
of the island measures five hundred [miles] around,
and is two hundred miles in length.

The aforesaid island faces the shore
between Laodicea and Tortosa to the east.
And in the same zone going west
you see Rhodes, Methone^{1in Messenia, in Greece}, and then Messina^2Italy,
Cagliari^3Sardinia and Majorca, and then following that
Valencia, Porto. And Famagusta
is two hundred [miles] from Beirut,
and [>>> per un •d•] five hundred from Alexandria.

From Antiochetta to Rhodes by this aforementioned wind^{3this refers to the west wind}
without sailing along the coast
[but rather] by the sea route is three hundred miles.
But there are two gulfs that it would be better to bypass,
because taking the coast would
be two hundred miles longer to go around.
In the first [gulf] are Candeloro and Setalia,
and the other gulf [>>>par] is that of Macri.
