Hi,
I'm certainly no expert on neither Ptolemaios nor latin,nor greek,(
The map (in a book of an atlas format) I looked at might have been a
translation but it looked like some sort of printed copy of something
originalish)but it seems to me that Ptolemaios listed at least some
peoples names on his maps. Asei looks like such a name. It was also
very empty of names all around in this region and further north. I
tried to find it on the web but I couldn't find it. E. g. this map
doesn't look really useful for finding the asei-
name:http://www.bell.lib.umn.edu/rmaps/maps/ptolem2.gif
hopefully it will appear here:

Best wishes
Anders
