Pliny calls Riphath Riphaci and mentions a group of mountains named after him, the Riphæan range. Melo calls him Riphaces, and Solinus: Piphlataci.
      Some «u»Irish «/u» traditions say Riphath is the ancestor of the «u»Celts «/u».It is also thought that Riphath may have lived among his brother. Last name would be Redpath, Ridpath or Reidpath. Alternate spelling: Diphath (In Hebrew, D's and R's are often confused with each other because of orthographic similarity)
