From an old map: a part of Malta

[pne]

I have a page-a-day calendar I bought yesterday which has details from an old map for each day.

A couple of days ago, they had a part of Malta. I scanned it in and stuck it on Flickr:

On Flickr's image page, I tried to add notes with the modern-day place names that I could identify.

Can anyone make corrections or additions?

(Note that North is roughly at the bottom of that map tile.)

Thanks for your comments! And yes, I found it difficult to match things up due to the unusual orientation as well.

As for "Gighiber", I now think the last vowel is an "i", and I presume that the "ghibir" could be "kbir" in modern Maltese orthography. And since it's right at the edge of the picture, perhaps there was more in front, so "[Hal-Something il-]kbir" or something like that, perhaps? No idea.

is there more to the map or was that the only part published?

That was the only bit on the "12/13 January" sheet. There are still over 300 to go so more Malta might show up later :) They don't seem to be in any particular order in the calendar.

There's definitely more on the original map since the caption said "The Island of Malta (detail)", i.e. it's only a section of the original map that was on the calendar leaf.

Oh, and I wonder whether "S.Paolo" is San Pawl il-Bahar - it looks too far inland, and is it really that close to Mosta? On the other hand, people back then didn't have aerial cartography so perhaps their distances were a bit off...
