A note on this entry

Source: S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers, The Key of Solomon the King (1888), Book II ch. 18, Plate V fig. 22; Peterson's e-text (esotericarchives.com) lists the same sequence. The 1-44 number follows the edition's own 'Order of the Pentacles' (Saturn first: 7+7+7+7+5+5+6); later books reorder (Mastros 2023 counts from the Moon), and the pentacle's own name is its per-planet ordinal. No angel is named: the letters are the five five-letter words of the versicle recombined into mystical names. Mathers flags an anachronism: the versicle is Ezekiel's, so he thinks only its last five five-letter words belong, and that the full verse would not have been on Jacob's pentacle. The letters inside are those words recombined as mystical names.
