Knowing past, present and future, and making people witty and bold. [1]
Goetia 1904
Scot gives the names Ipos and Ayporos and titles the spirit both earl and prince. The angelic figure has a lion’s head, goose’s feet and a hare’s tail. Thirty-six legions and the gifts of wit and boldness agree with the later Goetia. [2][1]
Scot gives Ipos knowledge of past and future; the Goetia includes the present as well. The earlier account also describes his appearance unfavourably, while the later one states the composite features more directly. An angelic body, lion’s head, goose’s feet and hare’s tail remain the common anatomy beneath these differences in wording. [2][1]
