Monicholla

A site along the coast of Asia Minor between Messi and Alto Luogo, probably the same as Barbanicola (Campbell #1411; Gastgeber 4.2). It is one of a group that appears only on a single Sfera map (Ashb7) with an unusual amount of detail along this coast.
This toponym does not appear in the poem, only on the maps accompanying it.
