The toponym Circassia (chircasia) appears in only a single Sfera manuscript (Con3), making it difficult to know whether it refers generally to the historic region of Circassia (the northern Caucasus, east of the Sea of Tana), or a specific town, for example Carcascia (Campbell #1238, in the same general area).
