The Celts went into England in c.400 B.C. and Ireland in c. 350 B.C. I

have seen nothing in the literature to suggest any Semitic language there

before the Celts. In fact, I don't think there is anything remaining of

the pre-Celtic language(s) except in place-names.

 

The Celtic Iron Age rolled across Europe even earlier than 400 B.C., of

course. Have you any evidence for Hebrews being there to meet them?

 

I would certainly be interested in seeing those samples.

 

Love,
