The Arabian Sea only appears in one Sfera manuscript (Bos), where it appears to refer to the Gulf of Aden or more generally the modern Arabian Sea (between the Arabian peninsula and the Indian subcontinent). See also Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and Indian Sea.
This toponym does not appear in the poem, only on the maps accompanying it.
