For another note, in the view of some hints that the author heavily relied upon mnemonics (a T-O diagram being essentially one of those), the inscriptions in the sectors would likely be NOT the continents names, but rather some relevant information about the continents (or related thereto). What the particular continent is would be clear from the T-O map itself.

For the word Persus you need 3 symbols. But there are 4. The "o" is 90% separate from the word. ( der, die, das = the )
Just an idea.

Re swapping: yes, not frequent, but I've seen Europe and Africa swapped. Can't find the thread right now.
