A note on this entry

Source: S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers, The Key of Solomon the King (1888), Book II ch. 18, Plate III fig. 16; 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 inscription is itself the curse. Mathers prints the Hebrew text of Ps 109:6 ('Set thou a wicked one to be ruler over him...') but gives no citation; the identification is from the quoted wording. Each Name is 'symbolised as it should be'. Malefic, and commonly omitted from modern selections. Where a Psalm is cited, the numbering is Mathers' English (KJV); the Hebrew numbering is lower.
