After some years the Egyptians made war on Sru, grandson of Gaedheal. So he and his host set out in four ships for the island of Crete 2 where he died. Thence they sailed under Eibhear Scot to Scythia where, Giolla Caomhain tells us, they came into conflict with their kinsmen. After five generations they were expelled, and eventually reached an island on the Caspian Sea.    Having spent a year on the island, they set sail in three ships, sixty in each ship.    " They made for the strait that leads westward from the Caspian to the narrow sea which comes in from the northern ocean." There they were driven by a storm to an island called Caronia in the Pontic Sea where they abode for a year and a quarter.

Proceeding   again,   they   were   intercepted   by   mermaids. These mermaids were wont to discourse sweet music to the sailors as they passed, so as to lull them to sleep, and then fall upon them and slay them.    Caichear their druid defeated the designs of the mermaids by putting molten wax in the ears of the crews so that they could not hear the music, as Odysseus did on the advice of Circe when passing the island of the Syrens.    In this manner they reached port  at the extremity of Sliabh Rife in the north.     Thence they got to Gothia where a renowned son Eibhear Gluinfhionn was born to one of their leaders.

After eight generations they pro-reeded under Bratha in four ships, by Crete and Sicily, having Europe on the right, to Spain.    After this Bratha is Braganza in   Portugal named,  and after Breoghan  or Brigus son of Bratha, the Brigantes.    Castile was given the name Brigia in olden times.    It was Brigus who finished or built Brigansia near Corunna and the tower of Breoghan in Corunna itself. He had ten sons, one of whom, Bile, was father of Golamh or Milidh of Spain.

History, according to the ancient narrative, repeated itself in the case of Milidh. Desiring to visit his kinsmen in Scythia, he equipped thirty ships on the Mediterranean, and, sailing by Sicily and Crete, was welcomed on his arrival in Scythia by Reafloir the king. Shortly afterwards he was made commander of the forces of Scythia, and got in marriage the king’s daughter Seang who, before her death, bore him two sons, Donn and Airioch. Soon the king had reason to feel jealous of Milidh’s popularity, and so conspired to kill him.    The reverse happened :   the king was slain.
