tidbits cross time
Ancient and medieval maps were not prone to have "HIC SVNT DRACONES" (there's one instance, which probably refers to Komodo dragons) and certainly not "Here there be dragons." What they would write instead was "HIC SVNT LEONES" -- here there be LIONS.

Hot Dogs, Hot Cats
Hot Dogs, Hot Cats: A MUTTS Treasury by Patrick McDonnell
