13. According to Dr. Keating (History of Ireland, p.13,14.), the giant
Partholanus, who was the son of Seara, the son of Esra, the son of Sru,
the son of Framant, the son of Fathaclan, the son of Magog, the son of Japhet,
the son of Noah, landed on the coast of Munster, the 14th day of May, in
the year of the world one thousand nine hundred and seventy eight. Though he
succeeded in his great enterprise, the loose behaaviour of his wife rendered
his domestic life very unhappy, and provoked him to such a degree, that he
killed her favourite greyhound. This, as a learned historian very properly
observes, was the first instance of female falsehood and infidelity ever
known in Ireland.
