Insítear gur sinsear chuile Eorpach é [[Japheth]] mac Naoi, gur sinsear na nGael agus na [[Scitiaigh]] é [[Magog]] mac Japheth, agus gur sinsear na nGael é [[Fénius Farsaid]]. Fénius, prionsa na Scitia, is described as one of 72 chieftains who built the [[Tower of Babel]]. Phós a mhac, Niul, i join [[faró|fharó]] na hÉigipte, dárbh ainm [[Scota]], agus bhí mac acu dárbh ainm [[Goídel Glas]]. Chum Goídel na [[Gaeilge|teangacha Gaelacha]] bunaithe ar an ndá theanga is seachtó a tharla i ndiaidh [[mearbhall na dteangacha]].

 

 

''It appears that this chapter was meant to give the Gaels a genealogy which links them to key Biblical figures and conforms to Judeo-Christian beliefs.{{sfn|Koch|2006|p=1130}}{{sfn|Carey|1994|p=3}} It links them to events from the Old Testament and likens them to the Israelites.{{sfn|Koch|2006|p=1133}} The claim of Scythian origins seems to be based on the similarity of the names ''[[Scoti]]'' and ''Scythae''.{{sfn|Carey|1994|p=12}} Other medieval pseudo-historians did likewise with other nations. For example, in his earlier ''History of the Goths'', [[Isidore of Seville|Isidore]] concludes that the [[Goths]] and [[Getae|Gets]] are related due to their similar names, and says that they (along with the Scythians) descend from Magog.{{sfn|Carey|1994|p=13}}
