Cheth-Shin-Mem-Vav-Dalet-Aleph-Yod, 8 + 300 + 40 + 6 + 4 + 1 + 10, summing to 369 — a row-sum of the Moon's square, which is why the name fits the Moon's table without being its total. The plate prints its character among the five Moon characters, and it is the shortest of them.

Office

Agrippa's caption is simply 'the spirit of the Moon', and the office is the Moon's own malevolent face: the luminary worked unfortunate, which the chapter says makes a place unfortunate where its seal is buried, drives men from their country, and hinders physicians, orators and all men in their office. It is the intermediate grade of the Moon's hierarchy — below the intelligence of the intelligence and beside, not above, the spirit of spirits.
