I have a map labeled entirely in Latin that shows the City of Sipontum (Latin for Siponto)an ancient port town of Apulia in southern Italy. It refers to inlets along the Italian cost as Sinus. The inlet located directly in front of Sipontum is labeled Sinus Urias. The other inlets appear to labeled in Latin with the same port city names as todays maps with this one exception which is now labeled as Manfredonia which is also the modern city of Manfredonia built by King Manfred between 1256–1263. The City is located around 3 km north of Sipontum. The town abandoned after earthquakes in the 13th century. I would love to learn more about how & why this inlet or bay was named Urias.
