Usage notes

  • Guilielmo Blaeuw's Europa recens descripta ("A recent description of Europe", 1622) depicts the Pamphylium Mare as the entire body of water which separates Cyprus from the northern continental Europe.[1] However, it is now more commonly ascribed to the modern-day Gulf of Antalya, a small bay just south of modern-day Turkey, encompassing only the parts which the region of Pamphylia would have touched or was adjacent to.[2]
