68 PHCNICIAN ORIGIN OF BRITONS & SCOTS

the Early British Chronicles and the traditional history books of the Irish-Scots, as cited in the heading, and in more detail below.

The juxtaposition of these two titles of the Phcenician Barat calling himself [ky or Icar, namely Prat or Prwt and “ Gi-oln,”’ coupled with the fact that the second inscription was in the Ogam, the especial sacred script of the Irish-Scots, suggested to me that the author was the actual historical original of “ Part-olon, king of the Scots” and “‘son of Eyc-ol Parthai,”’ who, according to the Ancient British and Irish histories, arrived from the Mediterranean by way ot Spain about 400 B.c. in the Orkneys, and who first colonized and civilized Ireland. Further examination fully confirmed and established this identity.

But before examining this evidence, his clan-title of “ Gy-aolownie,” or as it is written in the Ogam “ Gioln,” first requires some notice.

This name “‘ Gy-dolownie’’ or ‘‘Gi-oln”’ is clearly the clan-name “ Geleoin ” or “ Gleoin ” of the Irish-Scot histories, to which belonged the first traditional King of the Scots in Ireland, Part-olon, and the clan which colonized North Britain in the prehistoric period, as cited in the heading, and also repeatedly referred to in the Irish traditional books. In the following further reference from these books we seem to havea memory of Part-olon’s temporary location in Spain in the name “ /cathir-si,’’ which appears to be the ‘“‘ Agadir” name of the ancient Phoenician city-port of Gades, the modern Cadiz, outside the Pillars of Hercules ; and also a memory of his remoter port of Tarsus, the ancient Yarz or Tarsi port of Cilicia, in the ‘‘ Tvaicia’”’ of this record :

“In the same year came [to Erin] . . . from the land of Traicia[Tarsi?)theclan Geleoin . . . Icathir-si[Agadirs] was their name, that is . . . son of Part-olain.”?

That title also is seen to be obviously the original of the second half of the title of “ Katye-Uchlanz,” applied by Ptolemy, the Greek geographer of Early Britain topography,
