Michael,
This is just a guess, but I think a likely candidate is the 1st edition
(1982) of Zacharakis's /A Catalogue of printed maps of Greece,
1477-1800/. I don't have access to this edition, but in the 2nd edition
(1992 - "revised and amplified") the numbering of entries changed due to
the additions, and in this revised edition the Sonetti entries go from
2193 to 2241, a bit higher than the range of numbers cited in your
message, but but I think that this is typical for the numbering changes
between the first two editions of Zacharakis's book.

I would appreciate assistance with the following inquiry, which I
forward verbatim:
"I'm currently working on a catalogue the incunabula at Smith, one of
which is the 1485 /Isolario/ of Bartolommeo dalli Sonetti, with about
50 maps. The maps are all of islands in the Mediterranean, with
extensive manuscript labels and notes, and some nice coloring.
"Each map has a pencilled number in the corner, in a modern hand,
which I suspect must be a reference to its listing in some catalogue
or other. They fall into two groups of sequential numbers (although
the numbers are scattered among the maps - e.g. 2123, 1800a, 2124,
etc.): 2111-2135, 1800a-1819a, and a few odd numbers: 1236, 1642, and
1643.
"Can you think offhand of any reference work on early maps that might
be relevant?"
