Why do we have a list of places in the "Asia" section of the T/O map, but not in the "Europe" or "Africa" sections?
This might be due to the fact that on the rosettes T/O map there is no need to truncate or abbreviate the "Asia" word, but I think it looks like the full spellings of "Europe" and "Africa" were not included on this T/O map. So to compensate for this the f68v3 included the full spellings of "Europe" and "Africa", but as this was not necessary for "Asia" it lists places in Asia.
