Transcription problem - f68v3 and Rosettes foldout

[Mark Knowles]

I honestly don't think it matters too much that there are some that can't be interpreted. It's 200 pages of text. If something is unclear, there are other sections that are clear. Once they are worked out, one can come back to the ones that are less clear.

In this instance it is important as there is the question as to whether the first 3 or 4 glyphs of the 2 words are the same. If both are T/O maps and we have Africa, Europe and Asia then not open does this serve as a small crib, but if the text in the T/O in the rosettes page is an abbreviated representation of the text in the f68v3 page then this could give insights into the representation of abbreviations. Also if there is a match then that supports the notion that they are both the same kind of thing.

I find it hard to come to any other conclusion than they are both T/O maps and if so the Africa-Europe-Asia interpretation I have given is by far and away the most probable one.

I just wish I had significantly higher resolution scans.
