English: a series of old maps with a copying error tradition by 15th-to-17th-century cartographers.
The upper center of the right map (1584 by Ortelius) shows several errors typical for these maps: Fourni is placed correctly between Samos and Icaria, but is accompanied by Lipso (Lipsi) and the (fictional?) islands of Tragia and Crusia/Cursia. Arki is left out. In the place of Arki and Lipsi, there is the (fictional?) Mandria island resembling Agathonisi; but "Gatonisi" is also the twin-island of "Fermaco" (Farmakonisi) which has wandered north. A third Agathonisi is placed in the spot of the real Farmakonisi. Patmos, Leros and Kalymnos are too closely aligned.
