In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

APPENDIX B. Cross-References of Inscription Numbers The numbering of the inscriptions in this study is based on that used by Akçura. Various transcriptions, transliterations, and translations of the inscriptions on the Piri Reis map have been made and published since the discovery of the map in 1929. Different numbers have been used for the inscriptions in these various publications. This has caused some confusion when subsequent writers have referred to an inscription number that is numbered differently by another writer. The following table provides a cross-referenced listing of the inscription numbers used by the various authors cited. For clarity, the roman numerals used by these authors have been changed to arabic numerals. Because most historians cite the numbering system originally used by Akçura in 1935, the same numbering system for the inscriptions has been used for the present work. There are, however, some map inscriptions that were not numbered or translated by Akçura, and the numbering of the inscriptions has been extended to include those. In this table, a dash denotes an inscription overlooked or omitted by the pertinent author. Note that Hapgood, Maps of the Ancient Sea-Kings (1966), using Afetinan, Oldest Map of America (1954),without the benefit of the key map from Akçura, Piri Reis Haritasi (1935; reprint, 1966),has mislabeled inscriptions 18-24 on his key map. 155 Table 8.
