Milesians [part 2] " Mageoghegan, in his translation of the Annals of Clonmacnois, adds that, the sons of Miletus (Milesius) arrived in Ireland on the 17th of May, 1029 years before the birth of Christ. As authority for this he re- fers to a work on Irish history, by " Calogh O'More, who was a very worthy gentleman, and a great searcher of antiquity ;" but he adds, that " Philip O'Soullevane, in his printed work, de- dicated to Philip the Fourth, King of Spain, sayeth that they came in the year before the birth of our Saviour, 1 342, which is from this time present (1627), the number of 2969 years, Laesthenes being then the thirty-third Monarch of the Assyrians." See O'Sullivan's Hist. Ca- thol. Her. Compendium, torn. i. lib. iii. c. i. p. 32 " -- footnotes to John O'Donovan's 1856 translation of "The Annals of The Four Masters" What was the approximate ancient time period and chronology of the immigration of the Milesians to Ireland? According to Eugene O'Curry and his Ireland ancient manuscript research, the children of Galamh (a.k.a. Milesius) traveled from Spain to Ireland in the "year of the world 3500". Such a calculation, based on proported Irish and Hebrew calculations, would have been approximately 1700 B.C.
