Et cum plurimam insulae partem, incipientes ab austro, possedissent, contigit gentem Pictorum de Scythia, ut perhibent, longis navibus non multis oceanum ingressam circumagente flatu ventorum, extra fines omnes Brittaniae Hiberniam pervenisse, eiusque septentrionales oras intrasse, atque inventa ibi gente Scottorum, sibi quoque in partibus illius sedes petisse, nec inpetrare potuisse.
And after, when they moving from the south forward had in their possession the most part of the island, it chanced that certain people of the Redshanks from Scythia, as it is said, travelling upon the seas with a few long ships (the wind driving them in compass about), and passing outside all the coasts of Britain, came aland on Irelands side, on the north parts thereof, which they finding inhabited of the Scots besought them to allow them also some part of the land, where they might plant themselves, but they could not obtain their desire.
