After the 7 sisters of darkness had been bound, Solomon bade another demon to come before
him.
And there came a demon having the body and all the limbs of a man, but without a head.
And Solomon, seeing him, said to him: "Tell me, who are you?"
And he answered: "I am a demon."
So Solomon said to him: "Which are you?"
And he answered: "I am called Envy, For I delight to devour heads, being desirous to
secure for myself a head.
but I never eat enough, and as I stand before you, I desire to have such a head as yours.
Solomon, on hearing this, stretched out his hand against the demon's chest, and sealed
him with the ring of God.
The demon leapt up, and threw himself down, and gave a loud groan, saying: "I am doomed!
where have I come to?
O traitor Ornias, I cannot see!"
So Solomon said to him: "I am Solomon.
Tell me then how it is you manage to see, when you are without a head."
And the demon answered: "By means of my feelings."
And Solomon asked him: "How do you manage to speak?"
And he answered: "I, O King, am wholly voice, for I have inherited the voices of many.
In the case of all men who are called dumb, it is I who smashed their heads, when they
were children and had reached their eighth day.
When a child is crying in the night, I become a spirit, and move by the means of his voice.
Along the crossroads also do I pass, and whoever I encounter shall be harmed, For I grasp a
man's head with my hands, and with a sword, I cut it off, and put it on to myself.
And through my neck, it is consumed by the fire which burns inside me.
I mutilate the dead in the graves, and inflict incurable sores on men's feet".
And Solomon said to him: "Tell me how you emit the fire?
Out of what sources do you emit it?"
And the spirit said: "From the Day-star.
For here has not yet been found that great demon Elburion, to whom
men offer prayers and kindle lights.
His true name is not known by men.
He is invoked by the 7 sisters whom he greatly cherishes.
Solomon said to him: "Tell me his name."
But the demon answered: "I cannot tell you, For if I tell his name, I render myself incurable.
He will come when he is called.
And Solomon said to him: "Tell me then, by what angel you are frustrated?"
And he answered: "By the fiery flash of lightning, and the angel Iax."
Not sure what to do with this headless eyeless demon, Solomon kept him in the custody of
Beelzebul until he summons the angel Iax.
