It marks Christian cities with red dots, and all other cities with black dots. Christian cities are marked in Europe, eastern Asia, and on the island of Taprobana, associated with the burial place of the apostle Thomas; there is one unlabeled red dot on the west African coast.  <br /><br />There is a large illustration of a fortified city on the eastern edge of the map. It is probably represents Paradise, as it is larger and considerably more detailed than any other city on the map, although it is not labelled. It sits across from the four rivers thought to originate in Paradise. <br /><br />Around the outside of the map, a series of rings represent other bodies in the solar system that were thought to orbit Earth, including the Sun. <br /><br />The text that accompanies the map refers to Ptolemy (2nd century CE) and the portolan charts as sources, though scholars struggle to find elements drawn from these sources.
