>Thoth Graecus is mentioned in Goetia in the description of the Brass Vessel, specifically in the story of how this vessel was recovered. As the story goes, Solomon shut up the spirits of Goetia in a brass vessel and threw it into a lake, though the reading (in Latin) from Wier indicates more likely that it was a pit or well. The Babylonians, thinking there was a great treasure, recovered and unsealed the vessel, causing all of the spirits to disperse about the face of the earth

>In the preface to The Key of Solomon the King, a.k.a. The Greater Key of Solomon, Mathers gives the introduction from Additional MS. 10862, which tells a story of one “Iohe Grevis” (though he admits another MS using the name “Iroe Grecis”) being among a group of Babylonian philosophers that determined to restore the sepulchre of King Solomon. Upon digging up the tomb, they found the Greater Key sealed in an ivory casket (as Solomon had instructed his son Roboam to bury with him). However, none of these men could comprehend it until Thoth Graecus (or perhaps more fittingly, Grema of Babylon) implored them to beseech the Lord for guidance. He was granted the presence of an angel, and subsequently his desire to understand the book

>The parallel between the two stories is somewhat remarkable, such that I believe they must originate from a single source. Each involves the Babylonians recovering a great treasure related to King Solomon, specifically digging it up from the depths. Thus, were the stories to be cross-referenced, it would seem that the reading of “pit” from Weir is likely more correct, rather than the common manuscript variant of “lake”. Moreover, the intent appears to be that the pit was not simply a deep hole, but in fact the tomb of King Solomon himself!
