searching for Ptolemy's Kasperia in old hellenic maps

by Labels:
Another failed attempt to find Ptolemy's Kasperia in old hellenic maps.
Asian cut from 'A Map of the Entire World According to the Traditional Method of Ptolemy and Corrected with Other Lands of Amerigo Vespucci' by Martin Waldseemüller's 1507. [available here]. This was the first map that depicted a world separated by Pacific ocean.

Note to self: do not try it again for sometime. It can drive one mad.
