Jode, Gerard de (1508-1591) was a contemporary of Ortelius who published his world map. Late, they seem to have developed disagreements, and Ortelius no longer makes any reference to de Jode. It is possible that Ortelius via Plantin bought and destroyed most of the first edition of de Jode’s atlas which appeared in 1578. De Jode’s name is mentioned on the second Ordines sheet (Ort202) as its engraver, the plate of which was bought by Vrients in or before 1603.

Justinus, Marcus Junianus (3rd century A.D.) summarised Trogus Pompeius in his "Epitome in Trogi Pompeii Historias Philippicas" (Ort183,197,198,210), first printed in Venice in 1470. The original work was written in the first century A.D. by Trogus and survives only in this 3rd century Epitome. It is a great universal history of the first century A.D., valued for its concentration on the history of peoples outside Italy, and includes a description of the Macedonian empire founded by Philip and greatly expanded by Alexander.
