For another note, in the view of some hints that the author heavily relied upon mnemonics (a T-O diagram being essentially one of those), the inscriptions in the sectors would likely be NOT the continents names, but rather some relevant information about the continents (or related thereto). What the particular continent is would be clear from the T-O map itself.
It is possible, but without firmer evidence that the author opted for a very non-standard form of representation I think the default assumption has to be that they are the continents. Anything is possible, but it seems to me one has to start with what seems very much most probable.
