King Paimon is one of the most obedient to Lucifer. He is a Great King and very obedient to Lucifer. He appears as a man with a woman's face, wearing a glorious crown, and riding a dromedary. He is preceded often by a host of spirits resembling men, playing trumpets and well sounding cymbals and any other sort of musical instrument.

Paimon can teach all Arts and Sciences, and other secret things. He can reveal what the Earth is, and what holds it in the Waters; what Mind is, and where it is; or any other thing you may desire to know. He gives good Familiars, and can bind men to your will.

He must be called toward the West. He is of the Order of Dominions. If you call him alone, you must make some offering or oblation unto him; and there will attend him two kings called Labal and Abalim, and other Spirits who are of the Order of Powers, in his host, and 25 Legions. And those Spirits which are subject unto them are not always with them unless he compels them.

When Paimon appears, let him be received with respect, and do him courtesy; then call him by his names, as aforementioned, and then demand of him what you desire, and he will give it to you. He can answer perfectly to what you would know. So desire and be glad, and he can teach you all arts and sciences.

He is also said to be able to grant titles and dignities, confirm or make them, and to bind or make any man subject to the magician if desired. He can make one witty, and can teach all things.
