TABULA PTOLOMACI (koordinate)


Location of European Sarmatia 
(from the Eighth Map of Europe)
European Sarmatia is terminated on the north by the Sarmatian ocean adjoining the Venedicus bay and by a part of the unknown land, a description of which is the following:

The terminus of its seacoast is located on that parallel extending thru Thule,
which parallel is the terminus of the known sea 62*00 63°00
The terminus of Sarmatia, which extends southward thru the sources of the Tanais river
is 64*00 63°00
It is terminated in the west by the Vistula river and by that part of Germania lying between its source and the Sarmatian mountains but not by the mountains themselves, the position of which has been indicated; on the south by Iazyges Metanastae then from the southern terminus of the Sarmatian mountains
to the beginning of the Carpathian mountains which is in 46*00 48°30
and by the following part of Dacia along that parallel up to the mouth of the Borysthenes river, and the shore of the Pontus which is near the Carcinitus river; then along the seacoast are:

which is near Lake Byce 60*30 48°30
On the east Sarmatia is bounded by the isthmus which is near the Carcinitus river,
which is near Lake Byce 60*30 48°30
Maeotis which extends as far as the Tanais river, then by the Tanais river, and by the line which extends from the sources of the Tanais river toward the unknown land as far as the indicated terminus.

Location of Iazyges Metanastae
(from the Ninth Map of Europe)

[ 7/12/98: ]
This map demonstrates clearly that the lists of places and coördinates constituting the chapters of the Geography were merely parts of an index to the actual atlas. Thus, reduced to its bare bones, this is not as informative as it could be; I'll probably redraw it once all the surrounding areas are put online. In case you're wondering, the mapped towns are in eastern Hungary. One of the puzzling things to me is why Ptolemy felt this area deserved a separate chapter: that in itself is information of sorts, I guess. Stay tuned.
The region of Iazyges Metanastae is terminated on the north by the indicated boundary line of European Sarmatia beginning near the southern part of the Sarmatian mountains and extending to the Carpathian mountains; on the west by the indicated part of Germania which extends from the Sarmatian mountains to the Danube river near the Carpis bend, thence following that river to the mouth of the Tibiscus river, which, flowing from the north, empties into it.
The position of its mouth is 46*00 44°15
On the east it is terminated by Dacia along that river Tibiscus which rises in the Carpathian mountains.
The location of these mountains is 46*00 48°30
The towns in this Iazyges Metanastae region are
Uscenum 43*15 48°20
Bormanum 43*40 48°15
Abieta 43*40 48°00

Pessium 44*40 47°00
Partiscum 45*00 46°40
Book II, Chapter 15
Location of Illyria or Liburnia, and of Dalmatia
(Fifth Map of Europe)
Illyriaº is terminated on the north by both Pannonias along those borders which we have referred to above; on the west by Istria along that line,
one terminus of which is toward Upper Pannonia in 36*30 45°10
