These include The Lesser Key of Solomon (in the Ars Goetia),[1] Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum,[2] Jacques Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal,[3] the Livre des Esperitz (as "Poymon"),[4] the Liber Officiorum Spirituum (as Paimon),[5][6] The Book of Abramelin,[7] and certain French editions of The Grimoire of Pope Honorius (as Bayemon);[8][9] as well as British Library, Sloane MS 3824.
[11][12] The Goetia, Weyer, de Plancy, Livre des Esperitz, Liber Officiorum Spirituum, and Sloane MS 3824 all rank Paimon as a king.
[14] In the Goetia, Weyer, de Plancy, Livre des Esperitz, Liber Officiorum Spirituum, he is described as a man riding a dromedary, preceded by men playing loud music (particularly trumpets), as well as cymbals.
[11][12] The Goetia, Weyer, Livre des Esperitz, and the Liber Officiorum Spirituum all describe him as teaching science and answering other questions.
[1][2] The Livre des Esperitz and the Liber Officiorum Spirituum broaden this to truthfully answering all questions asked of him,[4][11][12] with the former source also claiming that he can reveal hidden treasures[4] and the latter highlighting that he knows all the affairs of the world.
[10] In Abramelin, King Paimo(n)'s powers include[15] knowledge of past and future events, clearing up doubts, making spirits appear, creating visions, acquiring and dismissing servant spirits, reanimating the dead for several years, flight, remaining underwater indefinitely, and general abilities to "make all kinds of things" (and) "all sorts of people and armor appear" at the behest of the magician.
