Boath, one of the sons of Magog; to whom Scythia came as his lot, upon the division of the Earth by Noah amongst his sons, and by Japhet of his part thereof amongst his sons.

Magog«/b», «u»Hebrew «/u» , «u»Greek «/u» «u»[ ma'gog ] «/u», is the second of the seven sons of «u»Japheth «/u» mentioned in the «u»Table of Nations «/u» in «u»Genesis «/u» 10. It may represent Hebrew for "from «u»Gog «/u»", though this is far from certain.
Magog is often associated with «u»apocalyptic «/u» traditions, mainly in connection with «u»Ezekiel 38 and 39 «/u» which mentions "«u»Gog «/u» of the land of Magog, prince of «u»Rosh «/u», «u»Meshech «/u» and «u»Tubal «/u»"; on the basis of this mention, "«u»Gog and Magog «/u»" over time became associated with each other as a pair.
«u»Josephus «/u» identified the offspring of Magog as the «u»Scythians «/u», a name used in antiquity for peoples north of the «u»Black Sea «/u».«u»[1]«/u» According to him, the Greeks called Scythia «i»Magogia«/i» (Ant., bk. I, 6).
«u»Isidore of Seville «/u», writing some centuries later, adds that he is also considered ancestor of the «u»Goths «/u», but notes that this is "because of the similarity of the last syllable" («u»«i»Etymologiae «/u»«/i», IX, 89). «u»Johannes Magnus «/u» (1488\endash 1544) stated that Magog's sons were Sven and Gethar, who became the ancestors of the Swedes and the Goths.«u»[2]«/u» Queen «u»Christina of Sweden «/u» reckoned herself as number 249 in a list of kings going back to Magog.
«u»Daniel Juslenius «/u» (1676\endash 1752) derived the roots of the Finns from Magog, whose descendants he said migrated to Finland.
It has also been variously conjectured that Magog's offspring were the progenitors of the «u»Slavic peoples «/u» known to history[«u»«i»citation needed «/u»«/i»].
According to several mediaeval «u»Irish «/u» chronicles, most notably the «u»«i»Auraicept na n-Éces «/u»«/i» and «u»«i»Lebor Gabála Érenn «/u»«/i», the Irish race are a composite including descendants of Japheth's son Magog from "Scythia". Baath (Boath), Jobhath, and Fathochta are the three sons of Magog. «u»Partholón «/u», «u»Nemed «/u», Iobath, and «u»Fenius Farsa «/u» are among Magog's descendants. Magog was also supposed to have had a grandson called «u»Heber «/u», whose offspring spread throughout the Mediterranean.
There is also a mediaeval «u»Hungarian «/u» legend that says the «u»Huns «/u», as well as the Magyars, are descended from twin brothers named «u»Hunor and Magor «/u» respectively, who lived by the sea of «u»Azov «/u» in the years after the flood, and took wives from the «u»Alans «/u». The version of this legend in the 14th century «u»«i»Chronicon Pictum «/u»«/i» equates this «i»Magor«/i» with Magog, son of Japheth.
