>PATHYN
>The fourth President under the King of the South is Pathyn, who is also called Aim, Aym, and Haborym. He comes in the form of a man handsome in body but with three heads, being those of a serpent, a man with two stars on his brow, and a cat. He rides a viper, holds a serpent, and bears either a firebrand in his hand or a burning pin in his mouth with which he destroys castles, strongholds, and cities. He has the ability to make one witty and wise and gives true answers of all things hidden, secret, and esoteric
>Although the linguistic similarities between the name Pathyn and that of the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum spirit Bathin are clear, it is his alternative names Aym and Haborym that reveal more about his character. The first of these, Aym, represents a sequence of letters found in the names of many spirits, such as Amaymon, Paymon, Caym, Raym, and, finally, in a more fragmented form, in the name of his own alias Haborym. While this connection may seem frivolous, when it is considered that the meaning of the word איום (ayum) in Hebrew is "terrible", the presence of this word can be seen as a cipher that denotes a spirit with a malefic nature. In the case of Pathyn, these tendencies are clearly demonstrated in his ability to destroy castles, cities, and strongholds by means of fire
>Likewise, the name Haborym has a similar dark origin, having its root in the Hebrew הבר (chabor) meaning "friend" in one context, "ensemble" or "organization" in a second, but "spell", "magic" and "witchery" in a third. When translated into Greek, the lattermost meaning of רבח becomes γοητεία or "goetia" and, on having the pluralizing suffix -im attached, becomes םירבח (chaborim). Not only does this word suggest the notion of a collective of witches, sorcerers, or magical entities, but it also provides us with a precise transliteration of the name Haborym
