Goetia - S. L. MacGregor Mathers (1904)
The Second Spirit is a Duke called Agreas, or Agares. He is under
the Power of the East, and cometh up in the form of an old fair
Man, riding upon a Crocodile, carrying a Goshawk upon his fist,
and yet mild in appearance. He maketh them to run that stand
still, and bringeth back runaways. He teaches all Languages or
Tongues presently. He hath power also to destroy Dignities both
Spiritual and Temporal, and causeth Earthquakes. He was of the
Order of Virtues. He hath under his government 31 Legions of
Spirits. And this is his Seal or Character which thou shalt wear
as a Lamen before thee.
Pseudomonarchia daemonum - Johann Wier (1583)

that stand still; he overthroweth all dignities supernaturall and
temporall, hee maketh earthquakes, [lit. "and makes spirits
of the earth dance"] and is of the order of vertues, having

Aguares, of the order of the virtues who governs thirty-one
legions, appears riding a crocodile and carrying a sparrowhawk. He
is said to make deserters return and can cause enemies to flee. He
can exalt people, teach all languages, and make the earth spirits
dance.
