Ben cista (unknown)

Ben cista (possibly a variant of ben citta) is marked on a single Sfera map (Con3, map 1a, 16v), on the shore if what might be meant as the Caspian Sea. The geography is confused due to a misunderstanding of the Armenian mountains as a body of water, which was then transmitted through a particular group of manuscripts, including this one.) So the most we can say is that according to this map Ben cista is a coastal city in the general region of Armenia. See also Bavulti, Tradenti, Mons lapideus.
