Map of Illyria based on 1572 map by Johann Sambucus which in turn is based on Augustin Hirschvogel's map.

Cartouche bottom right 'Ioan. Sambucus Ortelio Suo S. Mitto hanc quoque tabellam qua neceßaria confinia Pannoniæ declarantur, fluuiorum & aliquot locorum situs, Hirschvogelij recte mutaui, Angelini autem studio plurima adieci, et interualla correxi, vt parum quis si cum Hirschvogelij hæc coniungat desiderarit, si qui errores sint, dies certiora docebit, Viennæ, Vale, 25 October 1572' [[Ioannes Sambucus greets his friend Ortelius. I also send a modest representation in which the necessary boundaries of Pannonia are being described, as well as the location of rivers and some places. Those provided by Hirschvogel I have changed and to those of Angelinus I have added some, and I have corrected some distances so that, when they are compared to those of Hirschvogel, which contain some mistakes, he can get to know the truth with greater certainty. Vienna, farewell, October 25, 1572].
