Cavan below the Voluntii Sept and above Laberus, while the Vennicnii Sept were in Co. Donegal in the north - west with the Erdin Sept below in Co. Fermanagh in the south - west.              

                                                                                                                                                             Connacht Province / Sreng's Fifth

         The Erdin Sept were also nearby to the south in the west of Loch Ern in Co. Leitrim in the north - west, and the Nagnate Sept were in Co. Mayo in the mid - west near Castlebar / Nagnata, while the Auteini Sept were in the far - west in Co. Galway in the south who were also later to evolve into the Uaithne / Owney Sept in nearby Co. Limerick in the mid - north - west and in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province.   

                                                                                                                                                                             Leinster Province

The Blanii Sept were below Laberus, in Co. Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster and nearby to the north - west of Eblana, which was situated below on the mid - coast in Co. Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster, and there was also the settled region of Macolicum in Co. Offaly in the north - west of Southern Leinster, with the Cauci Sept below Eblana in Co. Wicklow in the south - east and to the north - east of Rheba in Southern Leinster. The Dumnonii / Domnainn Sept were below Rheba to the north - west of the Coriondi Sept in Co.

The Menapii / Monaig Sept were in Co. Wicklow in the south - east of Southern Leinster to the south - east of the Dumnonii, with the Usdiae Sept to the north - west of the Coriondi Sept who may have been the early occupiers of the territory later to become the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Connla kingdom of Ossory in Co. Kilkenny in the south - west of Southern Leinster. (Later the Menapii Sept were to also evolve into the Fir Manach Sept in Co. Fermanagh in the south - west of the Ulster Province.) There was also a settlement region of the Menapia Sept below the Coriondi Sept near the coast of Co. Wexford in the south - east of Southern Leinster.

                                                                                                                                                                                 Munster Province

         The Concani Sept were in what is now Co. Clare in the north - west, which was at this time geographically still part of Southern Connacht, and they were situated above Regia Alterior on the River Shannon, while the Gangani Sept were below in Co. Limerick in Northern Munster in the mid - north - west (who were also in the north of Wales) with the Luceni Sept to the south - west of them, while the Gaelic Brigantes were in Co.

       Ireland had been previously divided up into 5 Cuigi / Five Fifths / Provinces, by the Fir Bolg, which all came together at the Hill of Ushnagh in Co. Westmeath in the Midlands / Midhe / Meath in the west of Northern Leinster, situated ten miles south - west of Mullingar at the Stone of Divisions / Ail na Mirian and of these 5 Cuigi, the Ulster Province situated in the north of Ireland was under the Gaelic Milesian Irian Ulaid Septs who had been the most predominant for quite a while, but Sreng's Fifth / Connacht Province that was also to be a Gaelic Milesian Heremonian kingdom, that was situated to the west of the River Shannon, was to soon become the pre - dominant one. The territory in the south of Ireland, taking in the Munster Province and Southern Leinster that had originally been in *37.Heber's Half was to eventually be in his Heberian descendant's, 83.Mogha's Half in the 2nd Century AD.

      Later on in the early 4th Century AD the territory in the very south of Sreng's Fifth / Connacht Province, situated today in the north - west of the Munster Province, in what is now the east of Co. Clare. would become “sword - land“ then and under the control of the Heberian Septs of the Tuath / Tuadh Muman in Tuaisceart Mhumhain / Thomond / Northern Munster who would by then be under the leadership of 89.Lewy / Lughaidh Meann - of the Irish Sea who would become the male line direct ancestor in the future of the Heberian Dal gCais Sept in Northern Munster / Thomond. Although geographically it was the most southern part of Connacht, in the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Fiachrach kingdom of Aidhne situated below Co. Galway down to the River Shannon estuary, it would then become a part of the kingdom of Northern Munster under the future direct rule of the Heberian Dal gCais Sept.

     In the territory that was situated in the east of the Munster Province, that was also under the control of the Heberian Septs, but in reality geographically situated in the south - west of Southern Leinster, adjoining Munster was the kingdom of Ossory, originally a kingdom of the Osraige Sept who were initially Erainn Fir Bolg Celts who had held out there in their own right against the inroads of the Laigin / Leinster Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Septs, and who were to nevertheless finally come under the control of the aristocratic warrior Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Connla Septs there. Like so many of the individual Clanna the Fir Bolg were to be eventually absorbed into the aristocratic warrior Gaelic Families there, and Ireland was to still  continue to remain basically a Celtic Country with a Celtic Culture for over a 1,000 years until the coming of the Teutonic Scandinavian Fionn Gall / Fair Foreigners and the Dubh Gall / Dark Foreigners which were to be Viking invasions in the late 8th Century AD. The Celtic aristocratic warrior Gaelic Septs originating previously in Spain before they had migrated to Ireland, who were descended from 34.Breoghan, 35.Bile, 36.Mil / Milesius / Gollamh / warrior and then from 3 of his sons, *37.Eber Fionn - of Fair Complexion the direct ancestor of all of the Heberian Sept / Fines, *37.Eremon the direct ancestor of all of the Heremonian Septs and 37.Ir the direct ancestor of all of the the Irian Septs, were to eventually gain total control over Ireland, along with their Gaelic kinsman descended from 34.Breoghan also, through 36.Mil's uncle and cousin, 35.Ithe the direct ancestor of the Ithian Septs and his son, 36.Lewy / Lughaidh who had their territory in Southern Munster. In Munster eventually there were to be also among others the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Septs of the Deisi Muman, the many Heberian Eoghanachta Septs including the Ui Liathain, the Fir Maige / Muighe Fene / Fearmuighe / Fermoy, the Arada Chliach, the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Conaire Muscraige Breogain, the Cenel nAeda, the Ciarraige Cuirche Sept the Heberian In Deis Deiscirt, the Uaithne / Owney Sept dominated later on by the Ui Loingseach / O Lynch Sept, the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Conaire Arada Tire, the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Conaire Muscraige Tire and the Ui Duach among others.
