- finish
- Phoenicians: ancient Semitic people; Carthage was a Phoenician city that was utterly destroyed by Rome in the Third Punic War (148-146 B.C.); the Romans so detested the Phoenicians that they spread salt over the fields so that nothing would ever grow there again → an eighteenth-century theory held that the Irish were of Carthaginian origin!
- Phoenix Park: Dublin's principal municipal park
