He gives men the shape of birds ; which allows those who trade with him to avoid the claws of judges. Thirty legions are under his command.

Notes: In stark contrast to the previous entry, Andrealphus seems much more calm and collected than the other demons. His associations with alchemy and transmutation would likely place him under the purview of Zagan, and the rest of the Infernal internal department. It tracks with the mention of mensuration, or the science of measurement, an important skill for a bureaucrat.
