Ptolemaic names have been given to mountains and rivers.

The river system is more elaborate than, although somewhat analogous in
its general pattern to, that of CA and CE. The Indus and its branches
seem to be lacking on the Catalan maps. I am unable to trace the origin
of several of the river names.

VI. Mesopotamia and Syria
Rivers and Lakes
165-168 The river system is more accurately drawn than on CA and CE,
inasmuch as the Euphrates and Tigris join before reaching the Persian
Gulf. On CA they enter the Gulf separately; on CE the Euphrates swings
around into Egypt, entering the Nile just above Babilonia (Cairo). All
three maps show a connection between the Euphrates and Mediterranean
through the Orontes, but only Leardo makes the Jordan communicate with
the Euphrates. On CA and CD an island, Zizera (see also 9), on CD said
to be the site of Nineveh, is shown in the Euphrates, but on CE and
Leardo this has become a lake. On CA the three lakes along the Jordan
are labeled from N to S: Aquaron (=Lake Hule), Mar de Gallilea (=Sea of
Galilee), and Mar Gamora (sea of Gomorrah,=Dead Sea).
