''De réir an LGÉ, tháinig an chéad dream go hÉirinn le trí long i gceannas [[Ceasair|Ceasrach]], iníon Bith mhic Naoi (neamh-bíobalta). Cailleadh dhá long, agus tháinig an tríú ceann i dtír daichead lá roimh an [[Geineasas|Díle]], le Ceasair, naonúr ban is daichead eile agus triúr fear: Bith, [[Fintan mac Bóchra]] agus Ladra. Roinneadh na mná i measc na fir, agus roghnaigh gach fear bean amháin mar chéile: Fintán le Ceasair, Bith le Barrfhionn agus Ladra le Alba. Ba ghearr go bhfuair Ladra agus Bith bás ámh, agus ba é Ladra an chéad fhear a churadh faoi i n-uaigh i nÉirinn. Le teacht na Díle, d'éag cách seachas Fintán. '' He becomes a salmon and later an eagle and a hawk, living for 5,500 years after the Flood, whence he becomes a man again and recounts Ireland's history.

''According to LGE, the first people to arrive in Ireland are led by [[Ceasair]], daughter of Bith, son of [[Naoi (fáidh)]]. They are told to go to the western edge of the world to escape the [[Geineasas|Díle]]. They set out in three ships but when they land in Ireland, forty days before the Flood, two of the ships are lost. The only survivors are Cessair, forty-nine other women, and three men: [[Fintan mac Bóchra]], Bith and Ladra. The women are split evenly among the men. Each also takes one as his wife: Fintán takes Cessair, Bith takes Barrfhind and Ladra takes Alba. However, Bith and Ladra soon die and Ladra is the first man buried in Ireland. When the Flood comes, Fintán is the only one to survive. He becomes a salmon and later an eagle and a hawk, living for 5,500 years after the Flood, whence he becomes a man again and recounts Ireland's history.
 
''In an earlier version of the tale, the first woman in Ireland is [[Banbha]].{{sfn|Koch|2006|p=165}} Banba, [[Fódhla]] and [[Ériu]] were [[Triple deity|a trio]] of land goddesses and their husbands were [[Mac Coill]], [[Mac Céacht]] agus [[Mac Gréine]] (son of the Sun). It is likely that Ceasair, the three men and their three wives are a Christianized replacement for them.{{sfn|Carey|1994|p=21}}<ref name=monaghan85>Monaghan, lch. 85</ref> Fintán/Mac Cuill may also be linked to the [[Bradán feasa]], which gains all the world's knowledge after eating nine hazelnuts that fall into [[Tobar Chonnla]]. The women who accompany Ceasair appear by their names to represent the world's ancestral mothers; they included Alba (ancestor of the Britons), Espa (Spanish), German (Germans), Gothiam (Goths), Traige (Thracians), and so forth. Thus "their arrival can be read as creating a microcosm of the whole world's population in Ireland". Several other companions echo the names of ancient Irish goddesses.<ref name=monaghan85/>
