Partholan [part 2] According to the Book of Invasions, Partholan before reaching Ireland: He came from Sicily to Greece-- a year's journey, with no full falsehood: a month's sailing from Greece westward, to Cappadocia. From Cappadocia he journeyed, a sailing of three days to Gothia, a sailing of a month from white Gothia, to three-cornered Spain. After that he reached Inis Fail, to Ireland from Spain: on Monday, the tenth without blemish one octad took Ireland. Thus, apparently, they traveled east to go west?? Unless the places are other locations translated by the name of countries which we now know geography here in the modern era. A similar strange path is noted in the same book when the Mileasians traveled from Scythia to "seven years on the sea, skirting the world on the north side" to "the Caspian Sea" to the Macotic Marshes "along the Tyrenian Sea"(Italy?) to Crete to Sicily to Spain.
