Pausanias that treats more of their controversie writes that Sthenelus was son to Crotopus the son of Agenor, that was brother to Jasus and 2nd son to Triopas the 7th king of the Argives, and that Danaus came and challenged the kingdom of Gelanor the son of Sthenelus, where after each of them alledged many probable and lawful reasons, the matter being deferred that day, the next morning as the cattel was going to pasture a wolf ran among them, wherewith their Bull fought, which moved the Argives to imagine superstitiously that the bull or conductor of their cattel signified Gelanor, and the wolf, that lives not among men, Danaus, that never before lived with them, and when the Bull was overcome they judged the kingdom to Danaus, whereby Gaedhal or Gelanor was (according to the Greeks) driven away, when Amintas the 7th king reigned over the Assyrians, and Chorax the 10th king over the Sycionians, and Danaus (in his place) the 10th king over the Argives, and Erichthonio the 4th king over the Athenians, Jesus naue then commanding and judging the Israelites. Our ancient writers whose language is so dead and out of use as it is now very hardly understood, write that Gaedhal, or Gelanor9 being in controversie for his kingdom was driven away and went into Egypt, whereof I have in the same ancient language written here the beginning, as it was set down (at the request of Mál son to Ugaine Mor, that was king of all the nation in Ireland and Scotland about 2000 years past) by Roighne10 one of our ancient writers, that begins thus:—
- A mec ain Ugaine,
Co saich do rus ingaibhe
Scethieth saichset sluaigh ri Senair,
Snigis Niul Egipt,
Rersat ré ruidles,
La Forann fechtaib
Fonais Niul Scota,
Co n-epert ar naithre.
