(time-frame ass. with Irish legendary history)
Banba is a designation for Ireland as a whole, though  “[o]rig. name of north Leinster = mag mBreg, hence from British compound *Banno-Magos [...] or from *ban-w-yā as a theonym” (eDIL s.v. Banba), as well as an eponymous character or personification who is said to have given her name to the island; sometimes mentioned along with two sisters, Ériu and Fódla, who did likewise.

Partholón and the dog-heads

Da cet bliadan iarsin do bi Eriu can aen duine beo, con iaram tainic dili. Cethracha la ⁊ bliadain ro bi Ere fo dilind.

Tricha bliadan iaram can duine i mbethaid an Erinn.
Partholón is an Irish rendering of Lat. Bartholomaeus (< Gr. Βαρθολομαῖος). This and Partholón‘s conflict with a race of dog-heads may suggest a relationship, at one remove or another, with the Acts of the apostles Andrew and St Bartholomew. In the Syriac version of the Acts, the saints are said to have converted a dog-headed cannibal among the Parthians. The pattern is inverted, however, since Partholón and his companions are slain.
