 This is apparently not based on the main Irish "Lebor Gabála" account.Fordun refers to multiple sources, and his version is taken to be an attempt to synthesise these multiple accounts into a single history.In Fordun's version, Gaythelos, as he calls Goídel Glas, is the son of "a certain king of the countries of Greece, Neolus, or Heolaus, by name", who was exiled to Egypt and took service with the Pharaoh, marrying Pharaoh's daughter Scota.
