He teaches philosophy, mechanics, and sciences. Vapula is depicted as a griffin-winged lion. Ad. 10862, M276, and Sl. 1307: "ducem" (leader, also duke). This paragraph is not found in Sl3091. -JHP It was probably translated from a "copy of the Latin text that was in the library of the Duke Filippo Maria in Pavia in 1426."Livre du Secret des Secrets ou la Clavicule de Salomon qui est le véritable Grimoire contenu en deux livres. H3981: "herus, Mayton, Metagix, Ebyros, Dronidis, Uguemenos, Abadem, Periberim, Tangialem, Trenlidem, Succantos, Abeloy, Bored, Bellamia, Castormi, detel"; Not to be confused with Corson. He knows of hidden things, can find treasures, and tells past, present and future. Taking a human or aerial body he answers truly of all secret and divine things of Earth and the creation of the world. He also brings good familiars. Purson is depicted as a man with the face of a lion, carrying a ferocious viper in his hand, and riding a bear. Before him, there can be heard many trumpets sounding. This demon blows internal trumpets, and is believed connected to the revelator to the Antichrist. He also knows the system and in Hebrew called Yosef Eseka - 666. There is also an early Greek manuscript dating to the 15th century (British Library, Harley MS 5596) that is closely associated with the text. [ citation needed] Saleos [5] (also Sallos and Zaleos) is a mighty Great Duke (a Great Earl to Johann Weyer) of Hell, ruling thirty legions of demons, although Weyer does not mention anything concerning legions under his command. He is of a pacifist nature, and causes men to love women and women to love men. He is depicted as a gallant and handsome soldier, wearing a ducal crown, and riding a crocodile.

Orobas is a very powerful Great Prince of Hell, having twenty legions of demons under his control. He supposedly gives true answers of things past, present and to come, divinity, and the creation of the world; he also confers dignities and prelacies, and the favour of friends and foes. Orobas is faithful to the conjurer, does not permit that any spirit tempts him, and never deceives anyone. He is depicted as a horse that changes into a man under the conjurer's request. The name could come from Latin "orobias", a type of incense. In Sl. 1307 this is followed by another chapter (chap. 9) on love magic, this one using a statue of wax,Vassago (also Vasago, Usagoo) is a mighty Prince of Hell ( see Hierarchy of demons), ruling over twenty-six legions of demons. He can be persuaded to tell the magician of events past and future, can discover hidden and lost things, and has a "good" nature. [9] A partial description from The Lesser Key of Solomon is as follows: "The Third Spirit is a Mighty Prince, being of the same nature as Agares. He is called Vassago. This Spirit is of a Good Nature, and his office is to declare things Past and to Come, and to discover all things Hidden or Lost." According to the Liber Officium Spirituum, he manifests as an angel. a b Agrippa, Henry Cornelius (1651). Three Books of Occult Philosophy (PDF). Translated by Freake, James. London. pp.572–575. The first section of the Key of Solomon includes a variety of chants, spells, and curses to summon or restrain demons and the spirits of the dead. The section also touches on other magic spells dealing with how to become invisible and how to find love. One prayer to cast out a demon reads like this:

It is well attested, but an uncommon term;

Naberius [Naberus], alias Cerberus, is a valiant marquesse, shewing himselfe in the forme of a crowe, when he speaketh with a hoarse voice: he maketh a man amiable and cunning in all arts, and speciallie in rhetorike, he procureth the losse of prelacies and dignities: nineteene legions heare (and obeie) him. M276: "Jaboles habaron Eloy elit nigit garbeloy semition metimoluch labalitena neromobel calemere daluti timaguel uirsaguel teuemis serye Jerete baruchaba athonoual baracabá eraiscum";Aub24: "Buzuc, Barubason, Pathaul, Archighel, Aquechay, Homorions, Ey, Abbaton, Chiuon, Cebeon, Ox, Zoymas, Caye Eeu, Abumachi, Ortagu, Haza, Helec Jeze"; Barbatos is an Earl and Duke of Hell, ruling thirty legions of demons and has four kings as his companions to command his legions. He gives the understanding of the voices of the animals, says past and future, conciliates friends and rulers, and he can lead men to hidden treasures that have been hidden by the enchantment of magicians. His name seems to derive from Latin "barbatus", bearded, old man, philosopher. He is mentioned in The Lesser Key of Solomon. The Testament of Solomon is a pseudoepigraphical work in a first-person narrative, which tells the story of the creation of the magical ring of King Solomon that he used to bind and control various demons. It relates the discourses between the king and the various spirits the story shows how Solomon used his wisdom to resist the guile of the demons and get them to help build the temple. L1202 reads: "Ces quatre Noms sont Agla au devant, Aglata au derrire, Aglon, Aglatay, des deux cotés de la Tête." -JHP Again, M276 seems to have the most reliable reading: "he sin daled caph he ched uau bed, nun nayn beld aleph";
