- Phoeniusa Farsaidh (or Fenius Farsa) was King of Scythia, at the time Ninus ruled the Assyrian Empire; and, being a wise man and desirous to learn the languages that not long before confounded the builders of the Tower of Babel, employed able and learned men to go among the dispersed multitude to learn their several languages; who sometime after returning well skilled in what they went for, Phoeniusa Farsaidh erected a school in the valley of Senaar, near the city of Aeothena, in the 42nd year of the reign of Ninus; whereapon, having continued their with his younger son Niul for twenty years he returned home to his kingdom, which, at his death, he left to his eldest son Nenuall; leaving to Niul no other patrimony than his learning and the benefit of the said school.
