2. Zagan magnus praeses & rex, ut Taurus prodit cum alis ad modum gryphis, sed assumpta hominis forma, hominem ingeniosum reddit: transmutat cuncta metallorum genera in monetam illius ditionis, & aquam in vinum, [& è diverso: sanguinem quoque in oleum, & contra: & stultum in sapientem.] Præest 33^bus legionibus.

3. Sytry alias Bytru, magnus princeps, Leopardi facie apparens, habensque alias quasi Gryphis: quando autem humanam assumit formam, mire pulcher videtur, hominem incendit mulieris amore, mulierem vicissim alterius desiderio incitat: Iussus libenter secreta faeminarum detegit, eas ridens ludificansque, ut se luxuriose nudent, praest legionibus 60.

6. Vual dux magnus & fortis, conspicitur ut Dromedarius magnus & terribilis, at in humana forma sonat linguam Ægiptiacam grauiter: hic præ cæteris amorem maxime mulierum conciliat. Inde nouit præterita, præsentia, & futura, gratiamque confert amicorum & inimicorum.
