Cefalonia (unknown)
Cefalonia only appears in a single Sfera manuscript (Fn3), near what should be the site of Caffa in the Crimea; it may in fact be a mis-expansion of that toponym (i.e. a scribe who saw the toponym caffa in an exemplar and mis-interpreted it as an abbreviation of cefalonia).
This toponym does not appear in the poem, only on the maps accompanying it.
