Maraos

Maraos: A demonic servitor of the infernal king Amaimon, Maraos appears in the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage. The exact spelling of this demon’s name is a matter of some dispute. In the version of the Abramelin material kept at the Dresden library, the name is spelled Meraos . In the Peter Hammer edition, it is rendered Eheraos. And in the 1898 Mathers translation, the name is given as Mames.
