Lamhfionn and his fleet remained at sea for some time, after his father's death, resting and refreshing themselves upon such islands as they met with. It was then the Cachear, their magician or Druid, foretold that there would be no end of their peregrinations and travel until they should arrive at the Western Isand of Europe, now called Ireland, which was the place destined for their future and lasting abode and settlement; and that not they but their posterity after three hundred years should arrive there. After many traverses of fortune at sea, this little fleet with their leader arrived at last and landed at Gothia or Geulia\emdash more recently called Lybia, where Carthage was afterwards built; and, soon after, Lamhfionn died there.

Lámfhind (Old Irish "White Hand"), son of Agnoman, was, according to medieval Irish historical traditions, an ancestor of the Milesians , who are said to have settled Ireland from the Iberian Peninsula and from whom the lineages of most of the traditional High Kings were traced.
According to the Lebor Gabála Érenn ,[1] the descendants of Goídel Glas , the eponymous ancestor of the Gaels , migrated from Egypt around the time of the Biblical Exodus , and settled in Scythia . Several generations later they were expelled from Scythia after Agnoman killed Refloir, the Scythian king, and spent the next seven years wandering by sea in three ships lashed together. After Agnoman died on the Caspian Sea , Lámfind took leadership of the exiles, along with his brother Allot and their cousin Caicher the druid . Caicher protected his people from the song of the Sirens by melting wax into their ears, and prophesied that in 300 years their descendants would settle in Ireland. Lámfhind led them to settle in the Macotic Marshes (Gothia, according to Geoffrey Keating ),[2] where he had a son, Eber Glúnfhind. Eight generations later his descendant Brath would lead his people from there to Spain, where Brath's son Breogán would spy Ireland from the top of a tower.
