Notes:

Japheth(variously, Iafeth), son of Noah and Emzara, was born in the year 1244 B.C. Before his death in the year 1846 B.C., Japheth is believed to have sired fifteen sons, including those listed below. The descendants of Japheth gave rise to the great empire of Scythia. According to the Historium Britonum by the Welshman, Nennius, who is believed to have written his history of the Britons circa 835 A.D., Japheth had a son named Joham from whom the tribes that originally inhabited Europe descended.

According to Nennius's Historium the first man to inhabit Europe was Alanus. The generations, Bath; Hisrau; Esraa; Ra; Aber; Aoth, Ethec; Aurthack; Bethactus; Mair; Semion; Boibus; Thoi; Ogomuin; Fethuir; and then Alanus. Alanus?s mother was Rhea Silvia, who also descended from Japheth through her ancestor, Juuin. Alanus was the father to three sons: Hisicion, Armenon and Neugio. Hisicion was father to Francus, from whom the Franks descended; Romanus, from whom the Latins descended; Alamanus, from whom the Germans descended; and Brutus, from whom the Britons descended. Armenon was father to Gothus, from whom the Gothi descended; Valagothus, from whom the Valagothi descended; Cibidus, from whom the Cividi descended; Burgundus, from whom the Brudundi descended; and Longobardus, from whom the Longobardi descended. Neugio was father to Vandalus, from whom the Vandali descended; Saxo, from whom the Saxones descended; and Boganus, from whom the Bogari descended. The author stated that this was one of the ancient traditions, but that there were also other traditions to explain the origin of the Britons.

According to the Leabhar Gabhala Earrainn, i.e. The Book Of Invasions, by an unknown author, circa 1150 AD, the various progenitors of the tribes that would eventually inhabit Europe were not the descendants of Alanus, some eighteen generations distant from Japheth. Instead, the author of that history associated the various tribe progenitors as the sons and grandsons of Elinus and great-greatgrandsons of Japheth. According to the Leabhar Gabhala Earrainn, the generations from Noah to Elinus were: Noah; Japheth; Ibath; Bodb; Dohe; Elinus.

The children of Japheth included: Gomer; Magog (from whom descended the Scythia and Gothi, according to the Historium Britonum by Nennius, ca 835 AD.); Madai (variously, Madei), (from whom descended the Medi); Javan (variously, Jaran), (from whom descended the Greeks); Tubal (from whom descended the Hebrei, Hispani and Itali); Meshech (variously, Mesech), (from whom descended the Cappadocces); Tiras (from whom descended the Thraces); Dannai; Grecus (from whom descended Grecia Magna, Grecia Parva and Alexandrian Greece, according to the Leabhar Gabhala Earrainn, ca 1150 AD.); and J. Hispanus (from whom descended the Hispani, according to the Leabhar Gabhala Earrainn).
