building of the Temple, he made use of no metal tool; but instead of a certain stone which
cut ordinary stone as a diamond will glass.
Belzebud: Also written frequently Beelzebub , Baalzebub , Beelzebuth , and
Beelzeboul . From Hebrew, BOL, = Lord, and ZBVB,= Fly or Flies; Lord of Flies. Some
derive the name from the Syriac Beel d Bobo, = Master of Calumny, or nearly the same
signification as the Greek word Diabolos, whence are derived the modern French and
English Diable and Devil .
Oriens: These four names of Oriens, Paimon, Ariton and Amaymon,are usually
allotted to the Evil Kings of the four quarters of the World. Oriens, from Latin, Oriens, =
rising or Eastern. This name is also written Uriens, from Latin, Uro, = to burn, or devour
with flame. It is probably from Uriens that a mediaeval title of the Devil, viz., Sir Urien , is
derived. The Name is also sometimes written Urieus, from Latin, Urios , a title given to
Jupiter as presiding over the Wind. Urieus is also derivable from the Greek Adj. Eurus,
Eureia, Euru, meaning vast or extensive. By the Rabbins he is also called SMAL, Samael,
which is derived from the Hebrew root SML, which means a figure, image, or idol . It is a
name given in the Qabalah to one of the Chief Evil Spirits.
Paimon: Is also frequently written Paymon , and sometimes Paimonia . Probably
from Hebrew, POMN, = a tinkling sound or small bell. This is again derived from the
Hebrew root POM, = to agitate, impel, or strike forward. The word POMN is employed in
Exodus 28, 34; 28, 33; and 39, 25. Paimon is also called by the Rabbins by the title of
OZAZL, Azazel, which is a name used in Leviticus with reference to the Scape-Goat. Its
derivation is from OZ, = a Goat; and AZL, = to go away. It has frequently been warmly
discussed whether the word in question means simply the Scape-Goat, or whether it signifies
a Demon to whom that animal was dedicated. But in Rabbinic Demonology it is always used
to mean one of the Chief Demons.
Ariton: It is also often called Egyn," or Egin . This name may be derived from the
Hebrew root ORH, = to lay bare, to make naked. It may also be derived from the Greek
word Arhreton, = secret, or mysterious, in any sense good or bad. Egin, may be derivable
from Hebrew, OGN, = to delay, hinder, or retard. There may also be a connection with the
Greek Aix, Aigos, = a Goat. This Spirit is also called by the Rabbins OZAL, Azael, from the
root OZ, which means both a Goat, and also vigour, vehemence of force; thus having partly
the same root as Azazel .
Amaimon: Also written frequently Amaymon ; perhaps from the Greek word
Maimon, present participle of Maimao; and A as an enforcing particle; hence Amaimon
would mean terrible violence and vehemence . This Spirit is also called by the Rabbins
MHZAL, Mahazael, perhaps from the root MZ, = to consume, or devour. Amaymon is
spoken of in the various mediaeval Magical works as being a very potent Spirit, and the use
of a ring, with Magical characters to hold before the mouth while conversing with him, is
recommended as a protection against his deadly, fiery, and poisonous breath.
