the mouth of the bag, which pulled the demon
into it. Ephippas was named as one of the seventy-two SPIRITS OF SOLOMON that were bound
to build his temple. While bound to the king, he
carried stones to the building site. This was the
demon that was used to lift a stone that was originally rejected by the builders as too heavy; it was
later used as the cornerstone to the entrance of
the temple.

fires, and withers trees. Together with the demon
of the Red Sea, AMELOUITH, they miraculously
created a column out of some unknown purple
substance they raised out of the Red Sea.
