I can read the Greek names, but translation is a bit beyond me. I'll ask the missus when she gets home, she speaks better Greek than I do (we are both of Greek descent).

last visit: 09.10.07 		The name west of Tamari is Ouoliva/Woliva and I have just looked up "akron" in my Greek/English dictionary. It means end or extremity, so the text just South of Land's End reads "Damnonian and Okrinon end" (perhaps "point" would be a better translation in a geographical context). No idea what Okrinon means, I'm afraid - it is capitalised, so I assume it is a proper noun.

Putting Okrinon in Google brings up a number of pages including this one:

Lizard Peninsula
Damnonion to kai Okrinon akron Damnonium sive Ocrinum promontorium var.
Okrion Ocrium (Ptolemy II 3 2) Okrinon akron Ocrinum promontorium (Ptolemy II 3 3) ...

Apparently the close up clearly shows Cornwall as a distinct nation of Britain.
