Cosmas is cited as a sixth-century traveler and author who described the yak. The text gives no personal arc, relationships, or further account of his life. His place here is that of an earlier observer whose writing contributes to the book’s wider store of geographical knowledge.
Description
No physical description of Cosmas is supplied. His height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, facial features, and attire are unknown, and no distinguishing marks are recorded. A depiction should avoid presenting conjecture as fact; at most, it may use simple, broadly period-inspired traveler-scholar clothing without specifying unsupported details.
