Original text from the Ars Goetia:
“SALLOS. – The Nineteenth Spirit is Sallos (or Saleos). He is a Great and Mighty Duke, and appeareth in the form of a gallant Soldier riding on a Crocodile, with a Ducal Crown on his head, but peaceably. He causeth the Love of Women to Men, and of Men to Women; and governeth 30 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, etc. “
From Tikaboo
“Sallos (or Saleos) is a Great and Mighty Duke, and appeareth in the form of a gallant Soldier riding on a Crocodile, with a Ducal Crown on his head, but peaceably. He causeth the Love of Women to Men, and of Men to Women; and governeth 30 Legions of Spirits.”
From the Luciferian Goetia by Michael Ford
“Sallos/Saleos is a Might Duke as well, who appears in the form of a soldier of medieval times riding on a crocodile, whom is crowned. Sallos is a spirit of lust and desire, whom one may project to bring on with another – and create a flowing inspiration to achieve the union with another. He governs 30 Legions of Spirits as well. “
FROM DEMONOLOGIA ( OCTOBER 2003 )
The Demon is also known as Saleos. About him is written in the Lemegeton : “he is a great and Mighty Duke; and appeareth in forme of a Gallant Soldier Riding on a Crocadile with Dukes Crowne on his head Peacibly; He causeth the Love of women to men; and men to women; and Governeth 30 Legions of Spirits;” (Sloane 2731).Mathers reproduced this text for his edition of the Goetia, but the description in Scot is oddly truncated. It reads only”Saleos is a great earle, he appeareth as a gallant soldier, riding on a crocodile, and weareth a dukes crowne, peaceable, etc.” (Scot, Discoverie of Witchcraft, page 225)
Collin de Plancy has given Sallos a somewhat Teutonic look with his full beard, shortspear and horned helmet. When a Demon appears riding a specific animal, he may be assumed to have some symbolic link with the beast. The crocodile is a southern predator, and is connected with elemental Water. This would lend Sallos a mingled fiery and watery quality, and in the absence of any other indicators to the contrary,would place him in the south.
