I have nothing more to say — I can neither prove nor disprove it, because now we’re already discussing our interpretations, not what we see directly.
But still, it’s all very interesting... However, the Peripl version does not align with f77r, f77v, f83r, f83v. What is depicted there are not geographical features or lakes.

Yes, what we see with our eyes versus our minds can be very different, and it is good to take frequent looks at it to see if one's mind's eye still sees what it thought it saw.
The periplus does work with those pages, for me, there are two loops, Europe, then Asia and Africa. Where lakes or seas are not shown, it is generally shorelines, rivers, or mountains being portrayed.
Instead of four elements on f77r, i see water quality differences, including hot springs, approximately correctly positioned, insofar as the Danube hot sediment aquifers, and shows the problems with silt and sediment. I suppose there are some commonalities with the elements, since the river is already water, the heated water could be linked to fire, the sediments to earth, and air is there anyway too. Also the color of the tube shows the change from relatively fresh greeny to more murky brown, which shows the correct direction of flow of the Danube also. The rest is the Adriatic east shore for me, the drawings are strange because of the karst effects along that shore. But all had been locations of Venetian colonies at some point, so there would be some knowledge accumulated over time.
Thank you, I continue to see new things every time I look, so I don't think I am anywhere near complete in terms of the associations. I wish you the same success with yours also! Especially with the text, I wish I had more insight there.
