Nothing is mentioned about Japheth or his sons in the Annals of The Four Masters. The following is how its history begins...
-----------------------------------------------------
The Age of the World, to this Year of the Deluge, 2242.
M2242.1
Forty days before the Deluge, Ceasair came to Ireland with fifty girls and three men; Bith, Ladhra, and Fintain, their names. Ladhra died at Ard Ladhrann, and from him it is named. He was the first that died in Ireland. Bith died at Sliabh Beatha, and was interred in the carn of Sliabh Beatha, and from him the mountain is named. Ceasair died at Cuil Ceasra, in Connaught, and was interred in Carn Ceasra. From Fintan is named Feart Fintain, over Loch Deirgdheirc.
-----------------------------------------------------
Here's what is said of Scota, Pharaoh's daughter...
------------------------------
The Age of the World , 3500.
M3500.1
The fleet of the sone of Milidh came to Ireland at the end of this year, to take it from the Tuatha De Dananns; and they fought the battle of Sliabh Mis with them on the third day after landing. In this battle fell Scota, the daughter of Pharaoh, wife of Milidh; and the grave of Scota is to be seen between Sliabh Mis and the sea. Therein also fell Fas, the wife of Un, son of Uige, from whom is named Gleann Faisi. After this the sons of Milidh fought a battle at Tailtinn, against the three kinge of the Tuatha De Dananns, Mac Cuill, Mac Ceacht, and Mac Greine. The battle lasted for a long time, until Mac Ceacht fell by Eiremhon, Mac Cuill by Eimhear, and Mac Greine by Amhergin. p.27
Their three queens were also slain; Eire by Suirghe, Fodhla by Edan, and Banba by Caicher. The battle was at length gained against the Tuatha De Dananns, and they were slaughtered wherever they were overtaken. There fell from the sons of Milidh, on the other hand, two illustrious chieftains, in following up the rout, namely Fuad at Sliabh Fuaid, and Cuailgne at Sliabh Cuailgne.
M3502.2
Tea, daughter of Lughaidh, son of Ith, whom Eremhon married in Spain, to the repudiation of Odhbha, was the Tea who requested of Eremhon a choice hill, as her dower, in whatever place she should select it, that she might be interred therein, and that her mound and her gravestone might be thereon raised, and where every prince ever to be born of her race should dwell. The guarantees who undertook to execute this for her were Amhergin Gluingeal and Emhear Finn. The hill she selected was Druim Caein, i.e. Teamhair. It is from her it was called, and in it was she interred.
-----------------------------------
And of Ollamh Fodhla...
------------------------------
M3922.3
Eochaidh was the first name of Ollamh Fodhla; and he was called Ollamh Fodhla because he had been first a learned Ollamh, and afterwards king of Fodhla, i.e. of Ireland.
------------------------------
The history of Irish kings after the Tuatha De Dananns appear to rest with Tea at the hill Teamhair, whom Eremhon married in Spain. Milidh most likely points to the Milesian kingline that came from Spain to Ireland. It is showing Scota ("daughter of Pharaoh") having married Milidh, again most likely in Spain (at Zaragossa?).
With the title of Ollamh is suggested a learned position, like a doctor.
The main question though, is what is a "daughter of Pharaoh" doing in Spain or Ireland? And per the location in Spain called Zaragossa meaning 'stronghold of Zarah', how does all that connect? (I have been to the old ruins in Zaragossa, Spain, so it is a real place.) Also, one of the ancient names secular historians of that era used for Ireland, was Scotia, from Scota. The land of Alba then later took the name from Scota and became known as Scotland, showing movement of this kingly lineage from Spain, then Ireland, and then to Scotland. Both Irish and Scottish history claim origin of their kinglines from the Milesians in Spain. A good question based on that would be, does England's history include the usage of the name Scota or Scotia, to show that kingline link to England? It is very, very probable, that link may be more about the movement of the Lia Fial ('stone of destiny') from Ireland, then Scotland, and then England.
One of the real problems with the Annals is the dating. Based on that 3500 year of the world date, it would put Scota and Tea around 1694 B.C. If Scota, Pharaoh's daughter, was one of Zedekiah's daughters which Jeremiah the prophet was guardian over when they ended up in Tahpanes, Egypt, 1694 B.C. would be way early for their arrival in western Europe.
Per the Annals, Christ's birth begins at the year of the world 5194. Does anyone see a problem with that? I do, since Bishop Usher's Bible chronology puts the time of Christ's birth at 4004 years from the days of Adam. If one believes the creation of the earth was close to Adam's day, and 4004 years to the time of Christ's birth, then the Annals is off by about 1190 years too much. Subtract that 1190 from the 1694 B.C. date, and that would put the date of Milidh's fleet with Scota coming to Ireland around 504 B.C., which is much closer to the time of Jeremiah the prophet's commission.
Annals:
Creation to the Deluge = 2242 years
Deluge to Christ's birth = 2952 years
-----------------------------------
Total = 5194 years
Bible:
Creation to the Deluge = 2262 years
Deluge to Christ's birth = 1742 years
-----------------------------------
Total = 4004 years
Thus, I believe the start date of the Annals with 2242 for the Deluge may be close, but the time from 2242 to the Year of our Lord being 2952 years after the flood to be an error.
