Kelley comments:
"The Fothairt of Leinster were a vassal tribe of the Laigin, thought by
O'Rahilly to be Cruthin ("Irish Picts") in origin. The pedigree of these
rulers is traced to the kings of Tara, which O'Rahilly regards as
inconsistent with their true origin. However, while I am inclined to
accept O'Rahilly's derivation of the tribe, it by no means follows that
their rulers must have had the same origin."

. "Baeth, who would probably have lived in the late sixth or early
seventh century, can reasonably regarded as historical, as he is only a
century (or a bit more) earlier than the probable composition date of
"Women of the Ui Dunlaingeof Leinster" [WUD}, and it is likely that
Sarnat's father's name would have at least been correctly remembered
along with his patronym when her pedigree was being collected by the
author of WUD. According to his official pedigree, Baeth was the son of
Nannid, son of Fiacc, son of Iar (or Mac Ieir), son of Cathbad (the earliest
name in WUD), son of Adnach, son of Artt Cerp, of whom the last can
reasonably be regarded as pseudohistorical. Because the immediate
ancestors of Baeth apparently do not appear in other sources, and
because the Fotharta Fea pedigrees show no cadet lines from Baeth or
his immediate ancestors, the accuracy of this pedigree is exceptionally
difficult to judge. Stopping the ancestor table at this point (rather than
including three or four more generations) is perhaps overcautious, but
seems reasonable, given the lack of support from other sources"
