From here, possible translations: opcholdg - Europe (Europa), otodol - Africa. It makes sense, since these are hapax. In the Asia segment, it's not a name, but rather a long text. [..]
I had a run upon this T-O vignette last year, you may have seen it already: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
In the Asia "half segment" text, the Vord arol or maybe aral appears directly behind some accidented letter; another one pointed already out that could mean "Asia", I think it was K. Schmeh.
As this is paralleling to the T-O vignette in The Map, I would agree.
But also, this approach needs again one thing which am refusing meanwhile: that the author(s) of VMS were complete idiots and did not know upside and downside of a TO map, in this case. Even though the TO segments are nowhere in this manuscript oriented(!) correctly.
As soon as we have to retreat to the assumption of VMS scribes/painters just have been too stupid, most surely our own ideas are wrong.
