Which Nowell Codex work describes far-off lands and fantastic inhabitants?

The Nowell Codex work describing far-off lands and fantastic inhabitants is Wonders of the East.

Wonders of the East is an Old English prose account of marvels supposedly found in distant regions, including Babylonia, Persia, Egypt, and India. Its catalogue includes dragons, phoenixes, giant ants guarding gold, cannibalistic Donestre, half-human Homodubii, and the wide-eared panotti. The text belongs to the medieval mirabilia tradition, in which travelers report exotic sights and peoples.

The work appears near the beginning of the Nowell Codex, before the Letter of Alexander to Aristotle and Beowulf. It was translated from a Latin source and is accompanied by illustrations in the manuscript. Those images depict some of the creatures and peoples described in the prose.

Readers sometimes confuse it with Beowulf because both works contain monsters and appear in the same manuscript. The Seafarer, Solomon and Saturn, and Judith are separate Old English works and do not provide this catalogue of distant marvels.
