A note on this entry

Source: S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers, The Key of Solomon the King (1888), Book II ch. 18, Plate IX fig. 38; 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. The only pentacle Mathers explicitly says to engrave in gold. The four angels on the arms (Chasan, Arel, Phorlakh, Taliahad) differ from the four rulers named between the arms (Ariel, Seraph, Tharshis, Cherub). Where a Psalm is cited, the numbering is Mathers' English (KJV); the Hebrew numbering is lower.
