Kommentar (Talbert):
-> Stretch to Cofna
The seemingly fainter route linework that leads down to the Cofna stretch is in all likelihood a copyist´s error. Rather, in my view, the mapmaker meant the route to continue to helyacapitolina; but the linework came to be omitted because of the awkwardness of bringing it through lettering. This missing vertical route down into helyacapitolina is unrelated to the route drawn from there to the right, and no link between them should ever have been created.
