Fenius Farsa King of Scythia

Fenius Farsa or Farsaidh, started the first language school according to Douglas Hyde, Gaelic Revivalist scholar and first President of the Republic of Ireland. According to Dr.Geoffrey Keating, scholar and historian of Ireland circa 1630, the following was transcribed, from now-lost books and annals, regarding the history of Ireland.

"Fenius sets up schools to teach the several languages on the Plain of Seanar, in the city which the Cin Droma Sneachta calls Eothoma, as the poet says"...

The lost ancient book of Ireland, the "Cin Droma Sneachta", or "Five Sheets Kin Staves of Vellum Containing the Wisdom of the Heights the Ridge of the Snow Mountain of Monaghan", was proported to contain a wealth of history and genealogy as studied by the highest learned of the time.

Could Seanar be biblical "Shinar" or somewhere near the great fertile crescent of Mesopotamia?? Might these language translation concerns have been initiated after the "scattering of languages at the tower of Babel"??

Could it be that Farsa has some connection to Farsi the language of Persia or Parsi Parse Parsa Persus Perseus??

O'Curry says that Fenius created the Gaelic language from the best of all known laguages of the time. Keating specifies Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, but conflicts himself while stating that Fenius was both several generations after Babel Tower, while simultaneous traveling to the Tower with his language scholars while the languages changed.
