Abramelin the Mage: Amaimon & Ariton
Ariton: It is also often called "Egyn," or "Egin". This name may be derived from the
Hebrew root ORH, = to lay bare, to make naked. It may also be derived from the Greek
word Arhreton, = secret, or mysterious, in any sense good or bad. Egin, may be derivable
from Hebrew, OGN, = to delay, hinder, or retard. There may also be a connection with the
Greek Aix, Aigos, = a Goat. This Spirit is also called by the Rabbins OZAL, Azael, from the
root OZ, which means both a Goat, and also vigour, vehemence of force; thus having partly
the same root as "Azazel". Servants of Ariton.
Amaimon: Also written frequently "Amaymon"; perhaps from the Greek word
Maimon, present participle of Maimao; and A as an enforcing particle; hence Amaimon
would mean "terrible violence and vehemence". This Spirit is also called by the Rabbins
MHZAL, Mahazael, perhaps from the root MZ, = to consume, or devour. Amaymon is
spoken of in the various mediaeval Magical works as being a very potent Spirit, and the use
of a ring, with Magical characters to hold before the mouth while conversing with him, is
recommended as a protection against his deadly, fiery, and poisonous breath. Servants of Amaymon.
