¶ 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).]

In a straight line between Tarsus and Antiochetta
lies Cyprus, one hundred miles off the coast
in the middle of the sea. Here we find Nicosia,
a regal city surrounded by land, as well as Famagusta,
which once was a great commercial port
facing the sea on the east. The island
measures five hundred miles around the coast,
and it is two hundred miles long.

The aforesaid island lies opposite the mainland
to the east, in between Laodicea and Tortosa.
And in the same zone^{1I.e., on the same latitude line.} going west
you see Rhodes and Methone^{2In Messenia, in Greece.}; then Messina^{3In Sicily.},
Cagliari^{4In Sardinia.}, and Majorca; and then following that
Valencia and Porto.^{5The MSS read "Portogallo" here, which was the contemporary name for the modern city of Porto and does not refer to the modern country.} Famagusta
is two hundred miles from Beirut
and five hundred from Alexandria.

From Antiochetta to Rhodes by the west wind,
it is three hundred miles
if you go via the open sea instead of sailing along the coast.
There are two gulfs that it would be better to bypass,
because following the coast around them
would take two hundred miles longer.
In the first gulf are Candeloro^{6Now Alanya, Turkey.} and Satalia^{7Now Antalya, Turkey.},
and in the other is Macri.^{8Now Fethiye, Turkey.}
