Spunta di Rodi (unknown)

A point on the coast of southwest Asia Minor, Spunta di Rodi (Point Rhodes) is a point on the mainland near the island of Rhodes. It appears in only one Sfera manuscrupt (Fn3), with an ambiguous reference where a first toponym spunta delcario was crossed out and replaced with spunta di rodi. It may be identified with crio nicolo or capo de crio (ancient Cnidus: Luxoro-1 112, Campbell #1410).
This toponym does not appear in the poem, only on the maps accompanying it.
