Septima Asie tabula continet Margianam, Bactrianam, Sogdianos, Sacas & Scythiam intra Imaum Montem

Margiana east of the Caspian Sea takes its name from Margus river which joins the Oxus. To the east is Bactriana which contains seven rivers flowing into the Oxus. Next eastward is Sogdiana, and then Sacara a land of nomadic peoples. To the north of these regions is Scythia within the Imaus Mountains which form the eastern boundary of this map.
