Sanchola (probably a version of San Nicola) is a site along the coast of Asia Minor between Macri and Messi. 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.
