The work in question is a specific nautical map engraved by Henricus F. a Langren for Jan Huygen van Linschoten's 'Itinerario' (1596). Maps of this nature, which contain Latin legends and cartographic labels, are not 'translated' in the literary sense. While the 'Itinerario' itself was translated into English in 1598, the map's Latin text (the specific object of this inquiry) remains a cartographic element rather than a translatable text, and no English translation of this specific Latin map legend exists as a separate work.
